DO NOT ARREST SUKIASIAN

The Heritage Party issued a statement today which runs in part: "By the detention of Nikol Pashinian, editor-in-chief of Haykakan Zhamanak daily, the government again proved that they are guided by narrow-mindedness and personal vendetta. The Heritage will keep considering the detention of Nikol Pashinian and other political prisoners as the continuation of political vendetta and as a fact of ignoring PACE commitments. The government's criminal indifference towards the health condition of Zhamanak Yerevan's editor Arman Babajanian is a manifestation of cruel attitude. The Heritage is also concerned that the government is going to arrest Armenian parliamentarian Khachatur Sukiasian if the latter decides to come out of hiding while, in reality, the government has no legal grounds for the arrest. The Heritage demands that the government follow the appeal of Armenian journalists and release political prisoners, including Arman Babajanian, who has serious health problems. The Party also urges the government not to arrest NA MP Khachatur Sukiasian if the latter decides to surrender to law-enforcers.
