This is nothing more than a weak attempt to justify a political show trial. Vardanyan is not being prosecuted for breaking the law (the audacity of this claim from a dictatorship) - he is being punished for being Armenian and for standing up for the people of Artsakh / thread 🧵
Hajiyev claims that Vardanyan’s philanthropy and background don’t matter. Of course, they do. In 🇦🇿, being an Armenian, moreover one with influence automatically makes you a target. Conveniently, his deeds were also appropriated by 🇦🇿: ie the renovation of the Govhar Agha mosque
