/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Khachatur Sukiasyan , Member of the National
Assembly of Armenia, who is wanted by police since the spring of 2008,
distributed a statement today. In his statement he briefly outlined
the events of March last year, touched upon the prosecution of citizens
for their political views and the amnesty recently granted.
Khachatur Sukiasyan emphasized that he is not afraid of the prospect
to face a trial because he had not committed a crime. However, he
emphasized in the statement that "Attorney General after changing
accusations was obliged to obtain the consent of the National Assembly,
according to Article 66 of the RA Constitution.
This agreement was necessary also to solve the problem of my arrest
and continued detention of other MPs that had not been obtained, and,
in fact, I have now prosecuted being not deprived of parliamentary
immunity." Sukiasyan believes that today he has a right to walk freely
in the city, and no police officer has a right to limit his freedom.
Armenian MP, who has gone underground, notes that the authorities
ignoring the requirements of the latest PACE resolution 1677, will seek
to arrest him, and "with the help of judges who are their instruments,
get stamps under their false and fabricated accusations".
"I am not particularly worried about all that. I am ready to fight
for my rights and freedoms, rights and freedoms of my people, and
I’m confident that justice will triumph in the end," RA MP Khachatur
Sukiasian concluded.
