PAP leader leaves NSS building, describes processes against him political
Prosperous Armenia party leader Gagik Tsarukyan left the NSS building.
Speaking to reporters he said all the processes against him are political.
“All the processes that took place today and after my speech in general I qualify as political. They have papers, made-up papers. If all this happens after my statement, it means it is political,” he said, adding that the investigation is underway.
The NSS visited early in the morning today the mansion of the leader of the biggest opposition party in Armenia for conducting search.
“They want me to give up, they want to scare me. This is blackmailing, this is political persecution,” Tsarukyan said, describing the actions of the NSS.
The developments followed tough criticism Tsarukyan voiced in the address of the authorities, claiming that the inexperienced staff has failed everything and demanded the resignation of the government.
In a released press release, the NSS reported that criminal case has been filed on illegal gambling business and the damage to the state amounting to 29 billion AMD.
Besides, the NSS reported about the cases of distribution of election bribes in 2017 by the Prosperous Armenia party.
