Dajat Vardapetyan, a deputy in Armenia’s Parliament and President
of the Georgian-Armenia Union, told reporters today that he sees no
political overtones to the arrest of Armen Chakhalyan, brother of
Georgian-Armenian activist Vahagn Chakhalyan.

Armen Chakhalyan was arrested by Georgian Special Unit forces on June
28 and charged days later for hooliganism.

He was later fined 2,000 Lara and released on a four year conditional
sentence.
