Chief of Yerevan Police Department, Major General Nerses Nazaryan
today announced that he is on good terms with Armenian parliamentarian
Ruben Hayrapetyan and businessman Saribek Sukiasian.

"No one can declare that I am ill-disposed to the Sukiasians. It is
excluded. I am similarly on good terms with Ruben Hayrapetyan,
Khachatur Sukiasian and his brother Saribek Sukiasian. Yet, it doesn’t
mean someone can commit a crime in Armenia and escape punishment,"
Nerses Nazaryan told A1+ today.

According to press publications, the arrest of Saribek Sukiasian on
February 12, 2010 was organized and ordered by Nerses Nazaryan and
Ruben Hayrapetyan.

"Everyone knows that an alarm was set on February 12 that Gor Davtyan
was being kept in Sil Conern owned by the Sukiasians. Gevorg
Ghazaryan, a friend of Gor Davtyan, told policemen that his friend was
being kept in the office and was forced to sign some documents. What
do you think the police should do in the given circumstances?" said
Mr. Nazaryan.

Asked why the police had broken into Sil Concern by breaking the door,
the chief of Yerevan police said: "Do you think we had to tiptoes into
the office stealthily? In reality, the policemen went there to save a
person subjected to violence."

Nerses Nazaryan did not refute that rescued Gor Davtyan, had been kept
in the police department till dawn. "Investigation was underway and we
did not let him go for his own security. The operation was carried out
with lightning speed and you needn’t pay attention to trivial things."
