LEVON TER-PETROSSIAN WAS THE FIRST

Politics

“Most families of Armenia’s political prisoners hardly afford their bare necessities. They have appeared in abject despair after the detention of their husbands, brothers and fathers. As our chances are confined we do our best to assist the most vulnerable ones.

The political prisoners survive thanks to their families. They can hardly do anything with the money allotted by the state,” Coordinator of the Committee for the Protection of the RoA Political Prisoners,” Vardan Harutiunian said to A1+.

Vardan Harutiunian says that people having a high social status usually do not engage in politics. They are mainly concerned about insurance issues.

The Committee raises money to support the families under question. “They reflect the hopeless state of our society.” As of now 60000 drams have been earmarked to five families.

Everyone is welcomed to make a voluntary donation. The list is headed by Armenia’s first President Levon Ter-Petrossian who has donated 150 000 drams. The list involves representatives of Armenian Intelligentsia, Diaspora and even an ARFD member who has given 30000 drams. All of them agree that citizens’ rights are violated in Armenia.
