For several days now, I have been receiving information that law enforcement agencies have started pressuring my teammates in some places. Second President of Armenia Robert Kocharyan, who heads the "Armenia" bloc electoral list for the snap parliamentary elections on June 20, noted this in a statement he released Saturday.

"I can forgive the illegalities and injustices committed against me—for the sake of the idea of closing the page of defeat, for the sake of national solidarity. But I want to warn that no incident of concocted persecution of my teammates will be forgotten and will be forgiven. I assure that any official who has allowed illegality will very soon be held accountable before the law," Kocharyan's statement also reads.
