PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenia's ex-interior minister Vano Siradeghyan must
be arrested and brought to the courtroom once he returns to Armenia,
according to the statement by Forum of Armenian Associations of Europe
(FAAE).
"In case of fair trial, he will be sentenced to life for the crimes
committed," FAAE head Ashot Grigorian said, citing pressure and
pursuit of Siradeghyan as reasons behind many activists' emigration
from Armenia.
"Many activists residing abroad stand ready to testify against
Siradeghyan if he comes back to Armenia to face the court," Mr. of
Siradeghyan said.
Armenia's ex-minister of interior affairs, former parliament member
and ANM leader Vano Siradeghyan was deprived of parliamentary
immunity in 2010 and a criminal case was initiated against him for
a range of crimes, including creation of a gang and organization of
contract killings. Since that moment, Siradeghyan has disappeared
from Armenia and an international arrest warrant has been issued for
him via Interpol.
