"Armenian fugitive businessman and opposition parliamentarian Khachatur
Sukiasian gave himself up at 3:50 September 2. He was accompanied by
his advocates," Vahagn Harutyunyan, head of the special investigation
group, told A1+.

Khachatur Sukiasian has been on the list of wanteds since last
March. He is charged with organization of mass riots on March 1, 2008
(Article 225 of the Armenian Criminal Code).

Khachatur Sukiasian was taken under detention and taken to an isolation
cell of the National Security Service Tomorrow the investigation
group will announce the preventive punishment.

Remind that PACE’s resolution demands Armenian leadership to use
other restraint than detention against fugitives giving themselves
up by July 31.

Supposedly, Kachatur Sukiasian will not be amnestied as he surrendered
on September 2.

None of Sukiasian’s acquaintances could comment on the businessman’s
sudden decision.
