Prosperous Armenia Party leader Gagik Tsarukyan arrived at the Yerevan court of general jurisdiction in Shengavit Administrative District.

When asked what he expects from the court, leader of Prosperous Armenia Party Gagik Tsarukyan said his participation in the criminal cases instituted against him haven’t been substantiated yet.

“This is a political order. You all see it. I was a partner, signed a memorandum with the government, was a proprietor and would see what I could do to represent my country in a good way. Whatever I have done, I have done it for my country’s honor, the people and the future of our country. The authorities are misleading the people. It’s not right to compare the old and new authorities all the time. If the chairman of the Central Electoral Commission was the very first falsifier of the elections, how come he is still in office?” he said, adding that the case against him is a political order.

Touching upon his cooperation with ex-director of the National Security Service Artur Vanetsyan, Tsarukyan said he is currently holding discussions with him.

Before entering the court, Tsarukyan held his fist in the air and encouraged the deputies of Prosperous Armenia Party, to which the deputies said they will stay near the court to support him.

The court will announce the decision on Gagik Tsarukyan’s arrest soon.

There are many police troops and deputies of Prosperous Armenia Party surrounding the Yerevan court of general jurisdiction in Shengavit Administrative District.

Tsarukyan is charged with obstructing the will of voters through electoral fraud, but doesn’t accept the charge and views the case against him as unlawful.
