Friends, I have been released from detention. I spent a total of 4 hours first at Yerevan's Zvartnots airport and then at the police station.

Axar.az reports that blogger Aleksandr Lapshin, known for his anti-Azerbaijani rhetoric, made this statement. He noted that the order for his detention came not from Azerbaijan, but from Belarus.

“One of the airport police deceived me. He clearly said, ‘Nikol Pashinyan will sell you to Baku.’ However, I was accused of ‘insulting the honor and dignity of the President of Belarus.’

The initiator of my detention in Yerevan was the Belarusian ambassador to Armenia, Aleksandr Konyuk. I thank the Armenian judicial system for refusing to extradite me to Belarus.”

It is worth noting that A. Lapshin was released the day after his detention in Yerevan. There were claims that the order for his detention originated from Azerbaijan.
