You will not scare us with searches and arrests. The "Hayastan" “(Armenia)” bloc noted this in a statement issued Thursday—and addressing the Armenian authorities.

"The actions taking place in our office in Spitak [city] and the targeting of our teammates are not a surprise. Such a style of work of the law enforcement system has long become the signature of the current administration.

These actions once again prove: the authorities do not have public support and confidence in their own forces, and resort to such measures to ensure their reproduction.

What is happening is not a legal process, but another cheap attempt to hinder the normal work of our structures.

With similar methods, the authorities are trying to spread a climate of fear—but this only strengthens our conviction that the chosen path is the right one.

No search or arrest can change our political agenda. Our team knows what it is fighting for.

We call on our citizens to respond on [the] June 7 [parliamentary] to all illegal measures taken by the authorities, rejecting the authoritarian regime established in Armenia," adds the statement by the "Hayastan" bloc.
