Biography
The criminal prosecution turned out to be a complete surprise for a resident of Yalta, Tadevos Manukyan. The man faces a prison sentence for his belief in Jehovah God.
Tadevos was born in October 1981 in the capital of Armenia, Yerevan. He grew up in a large family: he has three older sisters and a brother. The parents are no longer alive. As a child, Tadevos was fond of drawing. When he was 9 years old, the family moved from his native Yerevan to Artashat (Armenia), and 4 years later to the Kherson region (Ukraine). Since 2000, Tadevos lived in Yalta.
One of Tadevos' elder sisters was the first in the Manukyan family to become interested in the Bible. Later, he also decided to research this book. The fulfillment of the prophecies recorded in it and the practical value of the Bible impressed Tadevos, and in 2012 he embarked on the Christian path.
Tadevos is engaged in the repair of houses and apartments. In his free time, he likes to chat with friends, go hiking in the mountains overnight, cook over a fire, pick mushrooms. He is also fond of playing chess.
Because of the criminal case, Tadevos was forced to leave his usual life, friends and work. His family cannot understand why this peaceful believer is being persecuted.
