YEREVAN. - Members of Sasna Tsrer armed group visited the house of the Founding Parliament group member Khachatur Gichyan several times to examine his truck but didn’t tell him their aim.

Gichyan’s attorney, Tigran Sargsyan, told the aforementioned to Armenian News – NEWS.am.

According to Gichyan’s testimony, when he found out what purpose his truck had to serve, he refused to provide his car, but the group threatened to reprise against his family.
