The Republican Party of Armenia has issued a statement.

“With deep sorrow and anger, we got acquainted with the video presented by the National Security Service. It’s hard to believe that this is a reality. We are astonished and angry that something like this is possible in general in our reality, especially by a general who actively participates in the Artsakh liberation war. This is unacceptable and disgusting.

Respecting the presumption of innocence, we declare that if the accusation, which was filed against M. Grigoryan, regardless of his honor, must be responsible before the law, with all its severity. Everyone who violates the law, irrespective of honor, position or occupation, party affiliation, whether he is a deputy of the National Assembly or not, must bear responsibility before the law. These are not stock phrases or ideas, this is an unconditional position, especially when what has been presented, apart from the legal aspect, has an emphasis on the moral aspect as well. This is a blow to the moral values ​​of our people, the noble idea of ​​protecting the homeland.”
