YEREVAN. – Hraparak daily of Armenia writes: The day before, former NSS [National Security Service] director [Football Federation of Armenia (FFA) ex-president] Artur Vanetsyan was summoned to the Investigative Committee [(IC)] for questioning and had been there for quite some time. The investigators confirmed that he was invited as a witness in two cases – wiretapping, and the Football Federation where abuses were reported in connection with [ex-MP] Ruben Hayrapetyan's tenure [ as the FFA then president].
It is obvious that the authorities are alarmed by the expected political developments and the changes being recorded in the opposition field.
According to our information, in the coming days A. Vanetsyan will make an official statement about entering the political arena, and the IC invitation and questioning are probably aimed at preventing it.
