Armenian police have arrested Armen Sarkisian, who is the elder brother of a former presidential candidate, former prime minister and leader of the radical opposition Hanrapetutiun party Aram Sarkisian, on charges of ordering the killing last December 28 of Tigran Naghdalian, chairman of Public TV and Radio Council.
According to Armenian prosecutors, the arrest followed after Hovhanes Hovhanesian, one of the men, earlier arrested on charges of being involved in the killing, admitted to receiving orders to kill Naghdalian from Armen Sarkisian. Prosecutors said the confession of Hovhanesian and other related facts were enough to take Armen Sarkisian into custody.
Speaking at a Monday news conference Albert Bazeyan, a senior member of the Hanrapetutiun party, accused the authorities of “illegal” arrest of Armen Sarkisian, claiming that he has nothing to do with plotting and killing Naghdalian.
