azatutyun.am Detained Gagik Tsarukyan's associates held a protest in front of the Iranian embassy, calling on the diplomatic mission to use its tools to achieve "justice."
"Why are we in front of the Iranian embassy? There is a desire to personally deliver the letter from the Prosperous Armenia Party (BHK), which describes the entire legal "lawlessness" unleashed against Gagik Tsarukyan. It is unacceptable for us that the Armenian-Iranian friendly relations are endangered due to the actions of two citizens of the Islamic Republic of Iran, who are fraudsters," stated Tsarukyan's spokesperson Iveta Tonoyan.
"We want to believe that the Iranian embassy, led by the ambassador, will pursue the clarification of this process and will use all possible legal and diplomatic tools to stop the illegal criminal prosecution against Tsarukyan," Iveta Tonoyan said before handing over the letter to the embassy. The spokesperson for the BHK leader also informed that on Friday, the "Prosperous Armenia" party sent letters to all diplomatic representatives operating in Armenia.
Tsarukyan is accused of committing large-scale fraud and money laundering. According to law enforcement, the leader of the "Prosperous Armenia" party organized the theft of more than 21 million dollars worth of property from Iranian businessmen. Meanwhile, Tsarukyan's lawyers claim that the Iranians owe money to the leader of the "Prosperous Armenia" party, and there are obligations proving this.
Gagik Tsarukyan today published another message from the isolation facility, again refraining from directly and harshly criticizing the authorities. Instead, the leader of the "Prosperous Armenia" party spoke again about the obstacles to the country's development and the need to utilize everyone's potential. "I am confident that justice will be restored," wrote the 70-year-old Tsarukyan from the NSS isolation facility.
