In an interview with Tert.am, Pargev Ohanian, former judge at the
Kentron-Nork-Marash minor court, said that “everything is possible
in Armenia, both practically and theoretically.”

“With due respect to presumption of innocence, I would like to note
that, if they seek, they will certainly do something,” Ohanian said.

In an interview with the Yerkir Media TV channel, the MP Vartan
Oskanian, who is founder of the Civilitas Foundation, which is involved
in a money-laundering case, stated his intention to exercise his
constitutional right not to appear before investigators.

According to law, an Armenian MP cannot be arrested or charged without
the Armenian parliament’s consent.
