Today, Stepan Asatryan, considered the victim, testified in the case of Bishop Mkrtich Proshyan, the Primate of the Aragatsotn Diocese, at the Court of First Instance of the Aragatsotn Region. He claims that the Bishop forced him to participate in opposition rallies and not vote for Pashinyan’s team in the 2021 elections.
The defense, however, presented at least eight cases when Asatryan was documented to be absent from the aforementioned gatherings, and no evidence proving a specific mechanism of coercion was presented in court.
The next court hearing was scheduled for October 12, at 12:00, in open court.
