SERGE SARGSYAN WILL RECEIVE MELISSA BROWN, WHEN HE IS FREE
Support A1+!An initiative group organized a picket with “Free Alik”, “Free Arzumanyan” and other posters for Alexander Arzumanyan’s protection in front of the RA Government Building today. The former Minister of Foreign Affairs was accused in “money laundering” and detained on 8 May.
The police guarding the building did not allow the members of initiative group to bring the posters closer to the entrance of the building. Karapet Rubinyan, member of the “Civil Intolerance Movement” stated that their picket was not a rally or a gathering and it was not aimed at harming anyone or anything.
“We have gathered to look into the eyes of Mr Prime Minister and to hand over a petition singed by a number of political actors”, announced Karapet Rubinyan.
The organizers of the action decided to wait for the Prime Minister’s respond for 20 minutes and then only to leave. In 5-10 minutes Edgar Gevorgyan, Head of the RA Government staff, came out and promised to deliver their claim to the Prime Minister. In a couple of minutes he returned and said that the Prime Minister would receive only Arzumanyan’s wife Melissa Brown “But in a couple of days, when he is free”. Melissa Brown hopes that Mr Sargsyan will receive her and she will ask him to release her husband. “I will present him the letters addressed to various bodies”, she added.
Karapet Rubinyan gave the petition to Edgar Gevorgyan. The petition is also uploaded on arzumanyan. Atwebpages.com internet website. About 400 people from different countries have signed it
