The arrest of former deputy chief of staff Arsen Babayan on suspicion of official fraud is illegal and unlawful, Babayan’s lawyer Lusine Martirosyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am. 

The latter has already appealed the arrest decision, but no court hearing has been scheduled in the case.

Earlier, the Special Investigation Service released a statement, reporting about arrest of former deputy head of Armenian parliament staff Arsen Babayan for wrongdoing under official falsification.
