ArmInfo. Any suspicion of a crime should be properly investigated, while at the same time, law enforcement agencies should exercise sufficient caution and prudence in such matters. Minister of Justice Rustam Badasyan announced this on the sidelines of the <Transparency of Real Owners> forum in an interview with reporters, answering a question about calling the former speaker of the parliament, doctor Ara Babloyan for questioning, right in the middle of the surgery.
<We need to follow up on further reports, an investigation is underway, and any circumstance that is considered clarified at this stage may change. I can't give other comments on this criminal case, since an investigation is underway>, he said.
In criminal cases brought against the deputy head of the National Assembly Arsen Babayan and the President of the Constitutional Court, Hrayr Tovmasyan, the head of the department said that this was a matter of law enforcement agencies, at the same time urging to wait for the results of the investigation in the criminal case on usurpation of power.
Touching upon the refusal of the penitentiary service and the possibility of a probationary regime on the application for early release of the life sentenced in the case of "October 27" Nairi Hunanyan, the Minister of Justice noted: "They assessed within the framework of their functions and gave a negative opinion>. He also said that he had not met with Nairi and Karen Hunanyan, moreover, the minister has no desire to do this.
According to Badasyan, if Nairi Hunanyan can provide valuable information, this should be of interest to law enforcement agencies, not him. Touching upon the statement of the National Assembly MPArman Babajanyan that the chairman of the Public Council, Vazgen Manukyan, prompted Nairi Hunanyan to carry out the killings, Badasyan again replied that it was a matter of law enforcement agencies.
Earlier the National Assembly MP Arman Babajanyan send a letter to the Prime Minister of the country Nikol Pashinyan and demanded to dismiss Vazgen Manukyan. The day before, in a conversation with factor.am, the MP explained why he had come up with a similar initiative a few days after the meeting with Nairi Hunanyan, noting that during the conversation with Hunanyan there were several references to the name of Vazgen Manukyan. <Vazgen Manukyan played an important role in the intent of Nairi Hunanyan. I can't say whether he directed him to such a crime, but I'm sure that his desires were outlined in some way, which led to the crime. Those formulations regarding possible political developments, that if there had been no terrorist attack planned by Nairi Hunanyan, in what bad condition Armenia would have been, I believe that during this period, for personal reasons, Vazgen Manukyan planned a political vendetta and considered his main opponent is Vazgen Sargsyan>, said Arman Babajanyan, noting that in addition to Vazgen Manukyan, other persons participated in the formation of the crime committed by Nairi Hunanyan. These people played an important role through their advice and political analysis, however, Babajanyan refused to give their names.
