protect him. "I was called for the criminal case under Article 316,
and the criminal case was filed based on the complaint by the police,
this Article is applied when exercising violence or threat over an
official,"- said Mr. Kiviryan. He said he was not yet informed with
what status he was called to the SIS: "As I understood as a witness,
but the reality of all such cases in Armenia commences as a witness,
five minutes later you may become a suspect, ten minutes later the
defendant ... Whereas I was to be called as a victim." "We believe
that his actions were lawful, and his protection is included in
the responsibilities of our Chamber," - said the advocate of the
Chamber of Advocates Liparit Simonyan. A group of activists were
also gathered in front of SIS with posters "We will not allow a new
