A political group of 107 PACE delegates expressed concern about the arrest of Sambel Karaftian.
The political group "European Conservatives, Patriots and Allies", which brings together 107 PACE delegates, issued a statement expressing deep concern over the arrest of the leader of the powerful Armenia party, Samvel Karpetyan.
Members of Parliament stated a direct link between his arrest and the opposition's position regarding constitutional changes.
The document also notes the simultaneous arrest of three opposition leaders in Armenia and facts of selective political persecution.
Referring to the estimates of selective political persecution recorded in the September 2026 PACE report, the authors of the statement called on the authorities to respect the principle of the rule of law.
