YEREVAN. – The son of Arshak Sadoyan, a member of the Armenian Public Council (APC), Areg was  arrested on Friday on the bases of the investigations being held on  cases of the riots in Armenia by the Investigation Committee, said Suren Iskandarya , the head of the Public Monitoring Group in places for holding detainees.

According to Arshak Sadoyan, the police detained him from the Republican Square.  "There are no arguments against Areg, no videos; there is a vague picture in which one cannot see Areg," said Iskandaryan.

Arshak Sadoyan, who was present at the press conference, in his turn, said: "It is surprising that the representatives of the Armenian authorities are so mean. They told me that there was no need for a lawyer , and my son would be released soon. The lawyer Vardan Zurnachyan called me and said that my son was taken to the court. They said that Areg pushed or held on the shield of a policeman. To sentence a person for 3 - 7 years for holding the shield of a policeman, not knowing whether it was him or not, is ridiculous," said Sadoyan .

“There is a group of high-ranking officials , who try to increase the tension arguing in the following way: ‘ What a state it is, if it is not able to attack and liberate the PPR.’. That group has an impact on the Armenian President, but I hope that the head of the republic is not so prone to assault. Aghvan Hovsepyan is one of the most dangerous people. He provokes bloody clashes inside Armenia. People are purposefully massively detained. There is expectation that their relatives would go to the protest and new clashes would happen, which would lead to a forceful solution of the issue," said Arshak Sadoyan .
