Whole Armenian nation imprisoned now - Vahagn Chakhalyan

ArmInfo. The leader of the "Kamq" ("Will") initiative Vahagn Chakhalyan, who was under two months of house arrest, was released. The preventive measure against him has expired.

In this regard, Chakhalyan himself wrote on his Facebook page in particular: "My two-month house arrest has expired, now I am free. Few people know that this is not my first house arrest. But my arrests are nothing compared to what that today an entire nation is imprisoned, both inside and outside Armenia," the politician wrote.

In this vein, he recalled his previous arrests for political reasons, starting in the 2000s, and recalled in this regard the famous quote that "what doesn't break us, makes us stronger."

At the same time, the politician expressed hope for the speedy release of his fellow Dashnak fighters Gerasim Vardanyan, human rights activist Karapet Poghosyan and other political prisoners in Armenia.  Chakhalyan also hopes for the speedy release of the military-political leadership of Artsakh from Baku prisons.

He also said that he does not intend to stop his fight. "They managed to temporarily isolate us, but it was not and will not be possible to force us to abandon our struggle," Chakhalyan said, adding that their initiative still defends its goals and will continue to fight for their implementation.

At the same time, the politician emphasized that the demands previously voiced by their initiative on the authorities, including regarding the dignified return of the Armenians of Artsakh to their homes, the resignation of the current Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan, a large-scale amnesty, and the elimination of terror by the Compulsory Enforcement Service of Judicial Acts , as well as the solution to the problems of taxi drivers (the introduction of additional duties on online taxis - ed.) remain in force.

In conclusion, he called for continuing the fight, eliminating Pashinyan and his team in order to save Armenia.

The leader of the Kamk (Will) initiative Vahagn Chakhalyan was detained on May 16 of this year at protests near the building of the Armenian government. He was charged with hooliganism using information or communication technologies. The court sent him under house arrest for two months.
