Defense of Sacred Struggle to report information on `preparation for  seizure of power` case to foreign diplomatic missions in Armenia

ArmInfo.  The defense of the representatives of the "Sacred Struggle" movement of Archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan will transfer important information on the case of "preparations for the seizure of power" to foreign diplomatic missions accredited in the Republic of Armenia. Hovhannes Khudoyan reported this on his Facebook page.

"Considering the one-sided and incomplete dissemination of  information by the Investigative Committee in the conditions of the  secrecy of the pre-investigation check, today we submitted a petition  to the investigator for permission to publish the secret  pre-investigation check in the volume that became available to the  defense," he noted.

The lawyer recalled that for the first time the Investigative  Committee published edited recordings, the content of which was  clearly distorted /for example, by comparing with the materials  submitted to parliament by the Prosecutor General/. Khudoyan noted  that despite the defense's motion regarding the presence of  inaccuracies in the disseminated material, the Investigative  Committee began distributing the English translation of the edited  recordings without changes, it became clear that the goal is not only  to mislead the Armenian society, but also to provide the outside  world with false propaganda, but not legal material.

"Therefore, from now on, we will also simultaneously transmit  important information on the case to diplomatic missions in the  Republic of Armenia," the lawyer emphasized.

On June 25, law enforcement officers began searching the homes of  supporters of the "Sacred Struggle" movement and people with  opposition views. The Investigative Committee stated that the  participants and leaders of the movement were allegedly planning  terrorist attacks and the seizure of power in Armenia.  Sixteen  people were arrested for two months on charges of attempting to  "seize power," including the leader of the movement, Archbishop  Bagrat Galstanyan.
