“Nothing has happened to Tsarukyan to make him be disgruntled,” Gagik Tsarukyan, a member of the National Assembly, said this today, on 25 September, in front of the Kentron residence of the Court of General Jurisdiction of Yerevan.
The investigator’s motion to detain Gagik Tsarukyan is currently being examined.
A number of deputies of the “Prosperous Armenia” faction, Gagik Tsarukyan’s supporters are in the court yard.
“If a person speaks for his country, for his people, today the social, economic, political situation is so difficult that there has never been such a situation. I said on 5 June that we need to get out of this situation. The situation of the people is really very serious, social, economic, and political. You see, today there is no state in the whole world that at least supports Armenia. I told them to correct it, to settle it, otherwise it will be worse,” Tsarukyan said.
According to him, nothing has changed since June.
“I said, I am saying, people are inexperienced, they do not know the field, and today they cannot take the historian to be the head of the economy. I said and I am responsible for my words. Time will show everything. If arresting Tsarukyan today improves the condition of the people, improves the social and economic situation, increases the salary, let’s say the tax liabilities will decrease, I don’t know, the people’s interest rates will decrease, the tuition fees will decrease, there is no question if there will be a lot of investments. “What I have said is my principle, I am more convinced, I have not said much yet, we will live to see,” Gagik Tsarukyan said.
It should be reminded that as a result of 87 votes in favor, Gagik Tsarukyan was deprived of his parliamentary immunity.
Earlier, the National Security Service searched the house of MP Gagik Tsarukyan.
