YEREVAN. – The Russian Border Service Lieutenant General Vlasov’s explanation, in connection with the incident that occurred with Heritage Party MP Zaruhi Postanjyan on the Meghri-Yerevan road, bespeaks either premeditation, or improper management.     

Armenia’s opposition Heritage Party National Assembly (NA) Faction leader Zaruhi Postanjyan noted the aforesaid during a press conference on Thursday. 

She added that the Russian border troops had responded to the letter by NA Speaker Hovik Abrahamyan.

In Postanjyan’s words, the response states that at the time a function was carried out to impede a person’s right to movement.

“They substantiated the obstruction by allegedly carrying out an operative inspection. [But] we have the agreement between Armenia and Russia pursuant to which, if such functions should be implemented, they should be done in conjunction with the Armenian law enforcement agencies, [and] in accordance with the Criminal and the Criminal Procedure Codes of Armenia,” Zaruhi Postanjyan stressed.
