“TWO FEARS MAKE ONE DEATH”
Today, the leader of the Nor Zhamanakner Party Aram Karapetian released a statement from Yerevan-Kentron Penitentiary institution.
“On May 5, RoA Appellate Court Justice M. Rehanian declined my appeal against the decision of the district court of Center and Nork Marash communities to prolong my custody.
The regime is so scared that they even deny people’s access to courtrooms. I wished to participate in the court sitting and protect the rights of political prisoners. Everything was done to keep me in custody.
Undoubtedly, there is no justice in Armenia. However, if it is done upon the order of the so-called “strong government” which fears even the right word of the political prisoner, I must say that we again defeated them at this point.
I want to remind the regime of a famous Armenian saying: “Gentlemen, two fears make one death.” I wish all of us boundless vigor and endless will to struggle,” runs the statement.
