The Azerbaijani soldier who broke into a house and opened fire in Shaki village of Armenia is being held in much better conditions than the political opponents of the Armenian authorities. Anna Grigoryan, leader of the opposition “Armenia” faction in parliament, on Wednesday stated this at a press conference.

“Do you know where the Azerbaijani soldier is being held? In the famous “basement” of the NSS [i.e. the National Security Service of Armenia]: in the Yerevan-Kentron penitentiary institution. But can you guess in what conditions? Unprecedentedly good,” Grigoryan emphasized, adding that Armenia’s second President Robert Kocharyan and other leaders of the country’s opposition political parties are being held in inhumane conditions in a neighboring cell.

“This is the face of the [incumbent Armenian] authorities: excellent [prison] conditions for the Azerbaijani soldier, and inhumane [prison] conditions for their political opponents," Grigoryan concluded.
