“I can express a deeper defensive position when there is jurisprudence in this case. There is no law here, here are two young men, let me tell you about Hayk Sargsyan, two young men have been arrested because they have a certain patronymic. A man with a patronymic was arrested. There is one fact, the testimony of the police officer of the Yerevan City Police Department, which is a crime to prove.
He says he saw the two men behaving aggressively, cursing and hitting the police. I brought a video denying the testimony of that witness that there is no such thing,” said Benik Galstyan, the lawyer of Tigran Khachatryan, the son of the former governor of Syunik, who was arrested on Wednesday, in a conversation with Aravot.
“The precedent says that in the given conditions the policeman is moving with the departmental interest, by virtue of this precedent Jhangiryan, a political prisoner with three quotes, is acquitted. In the conditions of that precedent, they were rude to arrest two young men with the testimony of a police officer saying on TV that Sashik’s son and Litska’s son were arrested. This is not law, it is just human humiliation,” he said.
