"My client does not give testimonies as the National Security Service
took coercive measures to his family from the very beginning," Hovik
Arsenyan, the lawyer of Alexander Arzumanyan, the former foreign
minister charged with money laundering, said at the "Pressing"
Club, Friday.
He said the former head of the foreign political department is
indignant that the criminal case was lodged without warning. "They
could invite him, interrogate as a witness. In the meanwhile, they
started from the search," the lawyer said.
On July 2 the First Instance Court of Center and Nork Marash
communities will consider the petition of the National Security Service
Investigation Department for prolongation of Arsen Arzumanyan’s term
for 2 months.
