Disgraced RA MP has no intention to surrender himself to Armenian authorities

Today, attorneys of RA MP Khachatur Sukiasyan , Arthur Grigoryan and Ara Zakaryan presented Sukiasyan’s statement containing disgraced MP’s denial of accusations made against him. The MP emphasized his complete innocence and the fact that as MP, he possesses immunity status.

Sukiasyan stated that no one in Armenia could produce any incriminatory evidence against him so he’s suffering hardships only for his promotion of freedom of thought and human rights.

Sukiasyan’s attorneys emphasized that PACE recommendations are not yet brought to their logical ending and the amnesty announced does not spell full fulfillment of obligations by authorities.

They also added that Khacatur Sukiasyan has no intention to surrender to Armenian authorities until July 31, 2009, being assured of his own innocence, attorneys’ statement said.
