Defense and Security Committee member from the "Civil Contract" Arman Khachatryan does not agree that the arrests in Armenia are used as political retribution. According to him, this measure is rarely used and only to prevent disruption of the investigation. This is how he answered the journalists' questions about the death of the dissident Arsen Gaborkian in a pre-trial detention center and the usefulness of the arrests, and asked a counter question: "Do you propose to cancel the arrests and return everyone home? " Khachatryan called Gevorkian's death a tragedy, and expressed hope that the criminal case will provide answers to all questions. We will remind you that Gavorkian, a candidate for mayor of Stephanov from "Strong Armenia", was arrested on October 21 in a voter bribery case and died in "Novarashen" on November 10; The primary cause is a heart attack.
