Kazakhstan will decide Armenia's fate, as long a police officer can beat a citizen on the street and the citizen does not give an answer, said political activist Shant Harutyunyan in court today.
According to Harutyunyan, if in a country there are no citizens, then there is no state there. In Armenia, he said, values have degraded, which has led also to the inability to make logical analyses.
"Nations are destroyed not in wars, but in losing their own resistance and value system," he said.
Recall, Harutyunyan and several of his supporters were arrested on November 5, 2013, at the start of an anti-government march. They are accused of "hooliganism" involving weapons or objects used as weapons. Several local human rights activists and international organizations consider the men political prisoners.
