YEREVAN. - The attorneys of the ‘Founding Parliament’ members learnt from the media that Armenia’s Prosecutor General required the Founding Parliament case papers from the Investigative Committee.

Attorney Hayk Grigoryan told Armenian News – NEWS.am that he doesn’t share the expectations that something significant might follow. The attorney said they continue to keep in touch with the international human rights organization Human Rights Watch, which addressed the Prosecutor General with regard to the question of the Founding Parliament members, expressing its concern about their arrests. According to the attorney, the Prosecutor General required the case papers thereafter.

On April 7, Armenia’s Investigative Committee stated about the prevention of mass disturbances on April 24, 2015 in places of mass gatherings. With this regard, several representatives of the radical oppositional initiative ‘Foounding Pariliament,’ including its leader Jirayr Sefilian, were detained. The chief oppositional forces gave up the initiative of taking to the streets and demanding government resignation, underscoring the unacceptability of inside politics questions with the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. On April 9, five members of ‘Founding Parliament’ were arrested for two months.
