YEREVAN, MARCH 14, ARMENPRESS: Armenia’s National Security Service
(NSS) said it has discovered an arms cache of a parliament member
Sasoon Mikaelian, who was arrested on March 12 on suspicions of
instigating public unrest in Yerevan on March 1-2 and calling for
violent overthrow of the current administration.
The National Security Service said Sasoon Mikaelian, who was earlier
lifted of his immunity by fellow lawmakers, had told the guard of
his restaurant Vanatour in the town of Hrazdan in central Armenia,
to hide the weapons.
The National Security Service said the weapons and ammunition,
including anti-tank grenades and psychoactive drugs, were found in
a fishing lake close to the restaurant.
It said similar grenades were found on Freedom Square in Yerevan on
March 1.
