ARAR Foundation:
The joint statement of the partners who implemented programs for the homeland with Avetik Chalabyan
The content of the accusation against Avetik Chalabyan և the circumstances, the decision of his arrest in court by many, both in Armenia and in the Diaspora, to put it mildly, are suspicious and unacceptable. The decision to imprison him for two months, in fact, means that the RA judicial system considers Avetik Chalabyan dangerous from the point of view of justice.
We, the undersigned, personally recognizing Avetik, highly appreciating his patriotic activities and investments, professional skills and business connections in the world, consider that what happened to him is not only a certain attitude to political dissent, but also a great blow to repatriation, security and Armenia’s reputation.
We guarantee that Avetik not only does not pose a threat to our country and people, but the presence of people like him in our lives inspires hope that we can have a qualitatively and morally different Armenia.
We call on the Armenian authorities to reconsider their decisions and release Avetik Chalabyan as soon as possible.
