Heritage Party Issues Statement in Support of Prominent Armenian Businessman Arrested in Moscow
The Heritage Party today issued the following statement on Levon Hayrapetyan, an Armenian businessman who was arrested in Moscow recently and charged with embezzlement and money laundering.
"According to the press, the health of Armenian businessman and public figure Levon Hayrapetyan, who is in the Matrosskaya Tishina detention facility, drastically deteriorated — a man, who always stood at the source of state building of the Republic of Artsakh and to date contributes with his patriotic work to overcoming the serious challenges faced by the Armenian people.
"His being imprisoned, considering his health condition, is contrary to not only Russian Federation legislation, but also international legal norms. This fact, as well as Hayrapetyan's public activities in recent years tied to domestic and foreign political processes of the two Armenian states, provide grounds to conclude that the charges brought against him a few days ago clearly have a political context, which we, in turn, consider a serious blow hindering the establishment of Artsakh.
"Condemning the stone silence of the de facto authorities of the Republic of Armenia [RA] regarding the prominent benefactor's fate, which once again proves their incapability and indifferent, negligent attitude toward RA citizens, we urge our Republic of Armenia, Artsakh, and Diaspora compatriots to raise their voice of protest and ire in connection with the illegal and inhumane actions applied to Levon Hayrapetyan and do everything possible to return him to freedom. This is a matter of the honor and dignity of all of us."
