YEREVAN. – The Police of Armenia have sent back to the Prosecutor General’s Office the material on the recent statement by the head of the opposition Armenian National Congress National Assembly (NA) Faction, Levon Zurabyan, and with respect to the European Commission for Democracy through Law (Venice Commission) being “bribed.” 

The Police news service informed the above-said to Armenian News-NEWS.am.

The attorney general’s office, however, has not yet decided on its future course of action regarding this matter.

According to Zhoghovurd daily, even though Prosecutor General Gevorg Kostanyan has decided to close this case, there is no official communiqué yet from his office.

But the head of the ruling Republican Party of Armenia NA Faction, Vahram Baghdasaryan, is not concerned regarding this matter.

“The case is within the domain of the law enforcement; it has to make a decision,” he said. “And Zurabyan made that statement [just] to attract attention.”

During a parliamentary briefing on October 9, Levon Zurabyan had stated that the public of Armenia does not support the proposed constitutional amendments. In this connection, he had said that the sole job of Constitutional Court President Gagik Harutyunyan, who is also Chairman of the President-affiliated Specialized Committee on Constitutional Reforms, was to bribe the Venice Commission.

The police were investigating this case.
