YEREVAN. – An appeal has been filed with the court against the decision to detain Robert Nazaryan, former mayor of Yerevan and ex-chairman of the Public Services Regulatory Commission (PSRC) of Armenia; Attorney Gagik Khachikyan said this in a conversation with Armenian News-NEWS.am.
"The suspicion made has absolutely nothing to do with reality," he said.
The lawyer added that Nazaryan was not charged.
To note, a while ago the Special Investigation Service (SIS) issued a statement in that regard.
According to the SIS report, Robert Nazaryan was detained on suspicion of abusing his official powers.
Accordingly, evidence was obtained that in 2011, Nazaryan had abused his official powers as then head of the PSRC in the interests of establishing privileges for a particular company, thus causing serious consequences.
