As a result, the Criminal Court of General Jurisdiction of Yerevan City, obviously gave way to the opposing pressures of the government, decided to arrest against the national benefactor Mr. Samvel Karapetyan.
The prosecution of Mr. Samvel Karapetyan is another manifestation of the Prime Minister's anti-church actions, aimed at depriving the Armenian Church to deprive the Armenian Church.
Strictly condemning this shameful behavior, we appreciate it as a blow to the credit and reputation of the Republic of Armenia and the Armenian Church.
We express our full support to Mr. Samvel Karapetyan and the Karapetyan family, asking for the help and protection of the Lord.
