Opposition rep predicts no opposition figure will be free in  Armenia`s political arena unless end put to repressions 

 Opposition rep predicts no opposition figure will be free in  Armenia`s political arena unless end put to repressions 

ArmInfo.  The Investigative Committee received instructions to "fabricate" a case against Mother Armenia party board member Aregnaz Manukyan and has carried out the order. This was stated in a statement by Mother Armenia party leader Andranik Tevanyan, who is incarcerated at the Yerevan-Kentron  Penitentiary, published on the party's Facebook page.

According to him, all of this is happening as part of a fabricated  criminal case against him, commissioned by the "ruling regime." "Now  they've resorted to outright intimidation and illegal actions that  cross all red lines," the party leader emphasized, noting that Gagik  Tsarukyan, leader of the Prosperous Armenia Party, was arrested using  the same methods.

Tevanyan also reported that a search was conducted several days ago  at the apartment of Yervand Bozoyan, another member of the Mother  Armenia party board.

"If we don't jointly stop this tyranny and repression, tomorrow there  won't be a single opposition figure left free in Armenia's political  arena.

Nikol Pashinyan, who serves the Turkish-Azerbaijani agenda, has  pledged to make concessions at Armenia's expense to maintain his  power.

That's why he's clearing the political field and arresting his  opponents.

Incidentally, during his briefing, he already announced the upcoming  concessions, placing the primary responsibility for them on the  supposed majority of Armenian citizens who voted for him.  The only  way to avoid the fate of Artsakh is universal resistance.

Everything that's happening is not an attack against a single party  or individuals. It's an attack against Armenian statehood, our  values, and all of us," Tevanyan wrote.

As a reminder, on May 21, the Investigative Committee of Armenia  announced the opening of a criminal case against Andranik Tevanyan  for "treason and espionage." Tevanyan is accused of transferring  information containing state secrets to a foreign state for $622,000.

On the night of May 24, Tevanyan was remanded in custody for two  months by court order. Moreover, according to Tevanyan's lawyer, Aram  Orbelyan, there were no legal grounds for his client's detention.

The opposition figure's arrest occurred on the direct orders of  current Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan. Tevanyan himself  called the investigation's allegations absurd, noting that he  resigned from his parliamentary mandate in 2023 and, therefore, the  Investigative Committee's allegations are baseless.
