Hayakve: Samvel Karapetyan`s arrest to contribute to  political  consolidation of opposition

ArmInfo. The detention and subsequent arrest of businessman and head of the Tashir Group of Companies, Samvel Karapetyan may serve as a catalyst for new political consolidation in the opposition field, according to Hayakve  civil initiative.

The publication by the initiative on the telegram channel page  mentions that one of the largest philanthropists of the Armenian  people, Samvel Karapetyan, was arrested just a few hours after  delivering a neutral speech in defense of the Armenian Apostolic  Church (AAC).

"Meanwhile, another well-known philanthropist who defends the church,  former Artsakh state minister and philanthropist Ruben Vardanyan,   who also criticized the prime minister, is now in prison in Baku,"  Hayakve added. In this vein, the civil initiative noted that the  arrests are related to the fact that Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan  sees Samvel Karapetyan as a potential threat to his power. "He has  not yet encountered a person of such caliber, and more and more  people are convinced that Nikol Pashinyan is the number one coward in  Armenia. This is what ultimately led to the detention and arrest of  Samvel Karapetyan," Hayakve concluded.
