YEREVAN. – Narek Samsonyan, President of the "Civil Consciousness" NGO of Armenia, has been called to the Special Investigation Service (SIS) for questioning as an accused in the "black caviar" case.

Samsonyan had written on Facebook that Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's family buys black caviar worth $5,000 from a restaurant every month.

According to the SIS report, Samsonyan is charged with making a false statement.

Narek Samsonyan was summoned to the SIS earlier, too, after which he made a statement that his testimony was falsified by the investigator. The SIS then issued a counter-statement to this statement by Samsonyan.
