The Investigation Department of the National Security Service (NSS) has sent a further notice of invitation on Saturday to Armenian parliament opposition MP Gagik Tsarukyan for additional interrogation.

The latter's lawyer Emin Khachatryan wrote on his Facebook that this is another obvious fact of political persecution and separation from reality.

Tsarukyan's invitation to the NSS on a non-working day pursues only one goal - to deprive the latter of the opportunity to participate in a rally on Freedom Square and to appeal to the Armenian people.
