This is another case of political persecution. Our country is in a very dangerous stage now and our people should realize that unless we get rid of Serzh Sargsyan and his administration, the downfall of the county cannot be stopped,” Karabakh war veteran Jirayr Sefilyan, who was detained earlier on Monday on suspicion of illegal arms trafficking and possession, told A1+. At present, Sefilyan is at the Investigative Committee with his lawyer. After the arrest, the police announced that Sefilyan and others were planning to use illegal weapons to “seize” buildings and communications centers in the Armenian capital, including Yerevan TV tower. Ara Zakaryan, a lawyer of Jirayr Sefilyan, says the detention is politically motivated “This is the result of statements that Sefilyan made in connection with the April events,” he said. Sefilyan was the first to announce that Armenia had lost 700 hectares of lands in the April war.
