How are Khachik’s fellow academics, who lecture on “Democracy in Armenia” at YSU, remaining silent about this shameful illegality?

Gegham Manukyan, a deputy of the National Assembly from the “Armenia” faction, commented on the arrest of Khachik Galstyan, Secretary General of the “Homeland” party.

“In reality, Khachik has become the latest victim of a year of European bureaucrats who spare no effort to reproduce this regime.

And the Nikol regime will only escalate these political repressions.

To confront this challenge, a broad political coalition is necessary. The arrest of Khachik Galstyan and others is an attack on all of us.
The legality of arrests based on such crudely fabricated charges does not concern the authorities; they have long been operating according to the principle of ruleless confrontation.

Khachik has endured many trials over these years of struggle, and he will overcome this one as well.
But how will Khachik’s fellow academics continue to lecture on ‘Democracy in Armenia’ at the Faculty of International Relations of Yerevan State University while remaining silent about this shameful act of illegality?

‘Khachik and the other political prisoners will be released, and then the time for accountability will come,’” Manukyan stated.
