“Dear citizens,
I inform you that minutes ago, Rouben Khlghatyan (former mayor of Armavir), parliamentary candidate of the “I Have Honor” alliance, was arrested.
We declare that the arrest bears an exclusively political persecution character. It is entirely fabricated and unlawful. It aims to obstruct the political activities of the “I Have Honor” alliance before the elections.
