In Armenia, oppositionist Khachatur Sukiasyan who quitted the underground is arrested
A couple of hours ago, Khachatur Sukiasyan, an activist of the opposition and deputy of the National Assembly of Armenia, quitted the underground and surrendered to law enforcement bodies.
Sona Truzyan, press secretary of the General Public Prosecutor of Armenia, has reported that the deputy came to the Special Investigatory Service and is kept there at present. Sukiasyan is charged under part 1, Article 225, "Organization of mass disorders", and will be arrested.
Let us remind you that the deputy and prominent businessman Khachatur Sukiasyan, a colleague of Levon Ter-Petrosyan, was in search after last year's March events.
After the amnesty announced on June 19, his advocates petitioned before the investigatory bodies about replacing the arrest that had been chosen as the freedom-restriction measure for their client for some other measure. However, the Special Investigatory Service rejected the petition. Arthur Grigoryan, one of Sukiasyan's advocates, told journalists that the rejection in fact meant a possible arrest of the deputy in case he quits the underground.
