Any baseness may be expected from authorities that are in agony: Artur Vanetsyan on his possible arrest

Earlier Hraparak paper reported that the authorities were going to arrest former director of the National Security Service Artur Vanetsyan for two months.

A while ago, the paper contacted with Vanetsyan to learn about developments.

Asked whether any investigative activities were carried out and whether he was summoned to the law enforcement bodies, Vanetsyan said, “At this moment I am in the office, and I was here throughout the whole day having meetings with my associates and colleagues. As to the information you have mentioned, I must say that you may expect anything, any kind of baseness from the authorities who are in agony. But I may convince you that besides “kidnapping”, there is no other way to isolate me. I am speaking about lawful ways. Be sure, there is no reason and there is no ground to start legal persecution against me.

As to whether he discusses political or legal issues with his colleagues and associates, Vanetsyan said, “At this moment we have just one issue on the agenda – the removal of the authorities which failed the governance. I have already spoken about it and nothing, no pressure, no threat will keep us back from this goal. During these days Hayrenik party headed by me has been conducting intensive consultations with colleagues, we have plan of joint actions and will speak over the details in 1-2 days.
