ArmInfo. Detention of Saribek Sukiasyan, Head of Armeconombank Council,
was a failed attempt of provocation by certain forces in power. As a
result, the authorities found themselves in quite silly situation, as
usually, Savid Shahnazaryan, Armenian National Congress representative,
told media on Thursday.

Nevertheless, commenting on the draft resolution on involvement of
the army into the events of March 1 in Yerevan that was put into
circulation at PACE, Shahnazaryan said that European structures have
finally resolved to view the incidents of March 1 in different way
because of change of the political atmosphere.

On February 12, special forces of the Police rushed into the office
of SIL-Concern and subjected to detention Chairman of the Board of
Armeconombank Saribek Sukiasyan and one of the Conбern employees.

Judging by the official information, the authorities forged the regular
case with respect to the Sukiasyans family. Saribek Sukiasyan is a
blood brother of a well-known businessman and oppositionist Khachatur
Sukiasyan who supported the candidacy of the first President of
Armenia Levon Ter-Petrosyan at the presidential election in 2008.

After March 1 events, he was put on the wanted list, then he
returned and was amnestied. According to the oppositional mass media
information, S. Sukiasyan thinks that his current prosecution is
nothing else but part of the plan of revenge against him and his
family.
