1 2 3 Leaders of the opposition are kept behind bars, while figures close to the authorities remain free: Aram Vardavanyan in a speech at the National Assembly, Deputy Speaker of the Parliament Aram Vardavanyan announced a change in the personnel policy of the ruling majority. He recalled that in 2018, one of the main promises of the authorities was to clean the local governments of representatives of the Republican Party and eliminate their political methods. However, according to the deputy ombudsman, by the year 2026 the situation has changed to the opposite: the electoral lists of the "Civil Contract" today are actually created from former despicable figures, whom the current government itself has criticized in the past for corruption and systemic sins. Aram Vardavanian severely criticized the working methods of the law enforcement system, pointing to systematic violations of the presumption of innocence. The parliamentarian noted that in cases of financial violations during elections, the authorities began to practice mass arrests and taking defendants into custody even before the court's decision. "Look at your model of justice: the entrepreneur Narek Nalbandian faces the most complex financial charges, but as a preventive measure they choose only a written commitment not to leave. I'm not calling for his arrest, but this selectivity is amazing: in public you make pretentious words, but in reality you limit yourself to minimal steps. At the same time, the dubious charge leaders of the three dubious bodies are currently behind bars. You are not able to maintain the presumption of innocence in relation to regime opponents, because the current government has completely absorbed the most evil practices of its predecessors," Vardabanyan noted.
