09.30.2013 16:37 epress.am
Armenian National Congress MP Nikol Pashinyan today at the start
of the fourth sitting of the National Assembly raised the issue of
theincident that occurred in Syunik marz last week. Recall, during
Heritage Party MP candidate Samvel Hayrapetyan's campaign in the
region, Russian border guards near Lichk village Wednesday evening
stopped vehicles carrying Heritage Party members. When MP Zaruhi
Postanjyan asked the guards to explain why they were being stopped,
one of the guards broke a Heritage Party member's video camera.
Pashinyan today asked whether National Assembly President Hovik
Abrahamyan took steps to find out based on what right did Russian
border guards inspect Postanjyan.
"I expected that I would find out that you would've asked and received
an explanation on what right FSB [Federal Security Service] officers
have to take [such] action. I myself have appealed in writing to NSS
[National Security Service] Director Gorik Hakobyan, expecting that
he will provide an explanation," said Pashinyan.
"I received a letter from the commander of the Russian border troops,
the contents of which I have not yet become familiar with. I will read
it during the break and will deal with it within the boundaries of
the law. I definitely agree with your view, that [such] inspections
are the exclusive authority of Armenian law enforcement bodies,"
said Abrahamyan.
