Today, on June 19, the Armenian Prime Minister and Leader of the
Republican Party of Armenia, Serzh Sargsyan, met Melissa Brown,
the wife of Alexander Arzumanyan, former Armenian Foreign Minister
and Leader of the Civil Disobedience movement, arrested for money
laundering.
M.Brown noted that during the meeting she once again asked the Prime
Minister about the reasons of her husband’s arrest. On the whole,
the meeting had no specific goal, she said. The meeting was held as
S.Sargsyan had earlier promised to meet her, she added. M.Brown also
pointed out that she wanted to give some books to her husband but she
was not allowed to. At the same time, she noted that her husband is
in a good mood.
To note, according to the Armenian governmental press-service,
Prime Minister Sargsyan also met Israel Hakobkokhyan, a boxing world
champion and MP candidate at the 11th constituency, who went on a
hunger strike as a sign of protest against the parliamentary election
returns at the 11th constituency. However, I.Hakobkokhyan himself had
persistently denied the fact of the meeting with the Prime Minister
until the governmental press-service announced this. At the same time,
he didn’t say what exactly they were talking about during the meeting.
