Public TV Says Georgian Authorities Arrest Fugitive Parliament Membe

PUBLIC TV SAYS GEORGIAN AUTHORITIES ARREST FUGITIVE PARLIAMENT MEMBER’S BROTHER

ARMENPRESS
April 2, 2008

YEREVAN, APRIL 2, ARMENPRESS: Armenian Public TV reported Tuesday that
Robert Sukiasian, the brother of a fugitive parliament member Khachatur
Sukiasian, had been arrested in neighboring Georgia three weeks ago.

Public TV said he was arrested for illegal crossing of the border in
an effort to leave for a third country. He was arrested at Tbilisi
airport when trying to go aboard a plane bound for a third country.

Khachatur Sukiasian had gone into hiding after March 1 unrest in
Yerevan. Armenian law-enforcement bodies want him for taking part
in a plot to usurp power. He is a parliament member, and a close
supporter of ex-president Levon Ter-Petrosian.

Armenian National Assembly (parliament) voted last month to lift his
and three other fellow lawmakers parliament immunity to allow their
prosecution on charges of attempting to seize power.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
