I will do everything to free Armenia from the traitorous authorities as soon as possible. I will be in the Republic of Armenia soon and we will fight for the freedom of our entire country, God will...

Prime Ministerial candidate of the NA "I Have Honor" faction, David Hambardzumyan, has made a statement.

"As you already know, the Yerevan Criminal Court sentenced me to 6 years and 3 months in prison the day before yesterday. The court did not take into account the fact that there is no justification for the acts I am accused of in the criminal case. No facts, no testimony, no evidence, no other circumstance that could, even in the slightest way, substantiate my guilt. In the truest sense of the word, nothing."

The decision to quickly imprison me after 7.5 years on a fabricated case indicates that the punishment applied against me is exclusively political. The criminal case initiated in connection with the incident that occurred 7.5 years ago was dismissed with respect to all participants in that incident, and only I was considered by this government as the organizer, doing everything possible to ensure that I end up in prison.

In other words, there are no participants in the incident, but there is an organizer.

Dear compatriots, a few months ago, when I accepted the proposal of the parliamentary "I Have Honor" faction to nominate me for the post of Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia, I was aware that the authorities would do everything to neutralize this real danger that had arisen for them. When making the decision, I was ready for any kind of test, knowing full well that the struggle for the independence of the Motherland is not an easy path at all.

I, assuming that responsibility, will continue to do everything so that Armenia is freed from the traitorous authorities as soon as possible. Impeachment has been and continues to be the only option to get rid of Nikol as soon as possible. Therefore, I call on the opposition and all patriotic citizens to unite around that agenda and implement the process of expressing no confidence in the Prime Minister as soon as possible. I assure you that all the necessary conditions are in place for this. This is what our people also want. Therefore, we must fight and achieve victory.

Dear compatriots, as you know, these days I am abroad on a working visit. My return ticket to Armenia is on October 28. Nothing has changed in my plans. I exclude even the thought of running away from Nikol and his servile judicial system. I will be in Armenia soon and all of us together will fight for my freedom, the freedom of the Holy Fathers, other political prisoners and our entire country. By God,” Hambardzumyan stated.
