Armenia's Investigative Committee launched a criminal case on public calls for apparent violence made by the Chairman of “National Security” party Garnik Isagulyan. As the Committee said in a statement, the criminal case was instituted according to the Part 1 of the Article 226.2 of RA Criminal Code based on a video entitled “Nikol's shooter should be given the title of National Hero or a reward of a million dollar” uploaded on “Youtube”. Isagulyan who has been actively participating in the opposition rallies demanding Nikol Pashinyan's resignation, was arrested on Wednesday. 

Investigation is underway, the Committee said, reminding everyone charged with alleged crime offence shall be presumed innocent until proved guilty according to law.
