Nikol Pashinyan instructed to arrest Artur Vanetsyan: Hraparak.am

Armenia’s Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has been engaged in the process of neutralization of the opposition. During these days all the political resources have been addressed against the opposition field where during these days consolidation processes were taking place, Hraparak.am writes.

The paper says that nevertheless, the former director of the National Security Service, president of Hayrenik party Artur Vanetsuan is his number 1 target as he feels danger coming from him.

Paper’s sources say that the first instruction to the NSS newly appointed director Argishti Kyaramyan was to “neutralize” Vanetsyan.

Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan assigned to summon him to the NSS at any reason and arrest. Afterwards all the levers against courts will be used for getting sanction for long term arrest.

He said the most important thing is to keep him at least for two months.

The paper says Argishti Kyaramyan is not a staff officer and has no “complexes” in implementation of the leader’s assignments.

The paper says according to its source, Artur Vanetsyan will be summoned for interrogation today and more probably will be arrested, though it will be rather difficult to seize sanction from court without grounded proofs.
