On June 18, Samvel Karapetyan was arrested for two months and transferred to Armavir penitentiary for “making public calls aimed at seizing the powers of the Armenian government.”

A few hours before his arrest, Karapetyan had issued a statement in support of the Armenian Apostolic Church: “I stand by our Church, by our people…Everything will be fine, the people will speak up, and they will realize their mistake.”

In response, Prime Minister Pashinyan wrote: “Why have the wicked 'clergymen' and their wicked 'philanthropists' become so active? No worries — we will silence them again. This time, for good.” He later added that the electricity network should be nationalized soon.
