YEREVAN, MARCH 13, ARMENPRESS: Armenian National Security Service
(NSS) arrested a parliament member Sasoon Mikaelian, who was wanted
by law-enforcement agencies for ‘organization of mass unrest combined
with killings and calls for the overthrow of the constitutional order."

The NSS said the fugitive lawmaker was arrested on March 12.

Sasoon Mikaelian was lifted of his immunity by fellow lawmakers
last week allowing prosecutors to formally accuse him of plotting
coup d’etat.

The NSS said Sassoon Mikaelian said he wanted his lawyer to be present
at his interrogation.
