Advocate Emin Khachatryan posted the following on his Facebook page:

“I would like to inform that a charge has been brought against former head of the Department of State Property Management of Armenia Arman Sahakyan under the criminal case being investigated by the General Department of Investigation of Particularly Important Cases of the Investigative Committee of Armenia.

The charge against Arman Sahakyan is clearly unfounded and is based on assumptions of the body implementing proceedings, and they simply can’t be reasonable.

Due to confidentiality of the preliminary investigation, I can’t publish the content of the charge and factual circumstances, but I can unequivocally state that they have nothing to do with reality. Besides, taking into consideration the current political realities and developments, I find that there is also a political subtext, and from this I can deduce that it is simply naïve to expect a full, comprehensive and objective investigation into this criminal case since there is no combination of sufficient proofs attesting to commission of a crime by Arman Sahakyan, and the investigator hasn’t submitted any evidence that would attest to the fact that Arman Sahakyan has committed the alleged criminal act incriminated to him.”
