Leader of the Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP) Gagik Tsarukyan has arrived in the court for the examination of the petition on his arrest.

The Armenian parliament on Tuesday gave a green light to the arrest of Gagik Tsarukyan. Only 87 MPs from the My Step ruling bloc participated in the vote.

He was greeted in the courtyard by the PAP MPs. Armenian National Security Service ex-head Artur Vanetsyan is also present.

Tsarukyan entered the building accompanied by attorneys, while his supporters are waiting outside.
