To the reminder that years ago he was also accused of the same charges (“Dro” case), which Zhirayr Sefilyan is charged of, NA ARF Deputy, Vahan Hovhannisyan said, “Yes. But at that time it was this great and beautiful Article 59. I’m proud of that article because many serious people have been charged by this Article. In past the punishment was 15 years, now it’s 3 years or penalty. Article 59 meant betraying the nation through armed rebellion. They were also blaming you of terrorism. Later the articles were converted into more innocent ones the duplicate of which is now implicated Sefilyan and others. The country has changed and it’s impossible to change much through rebellions.”
