Karapetyan's Arrest: 'West's Traditional Resistance to Russia is Shifting to Values'
"Countries where the West has leverage are being targeted. Unfortunately, Armenia is one of them," Armenian political scientist Hrant Melik-Shakhnazaryan told Sputnik.
In this context, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's attacks on the Armenian Apostolic Church and traditional values "are part of a plan to drive Russia out of the South Caucasus," he suggested.
The arrest of entrepreneur Samvel Karapetyan is thus a response to his defense of the Armenian Apostolic Church, the analyst continued.
Commenting on the nationalization of the Electric Networks of Armenia, which once belonged to this businessman, he highlighted the "illegal takeover."
The move, the analyst warned, disregards the economic and energy risks it poses. The government, failing on almost every front, risks plunging Armenia into an energy crisis.
