ArmInfo. The Special Investigation Service refused to give permission to Head of the Hayastan faction (Armenia), former Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyan to fly to St. Petersburg to participate in a meeting of the CSTO Inter-parliamentary Assembly. This is stated in the statement of the Hayastan bloc.
"It is noteworthy that a preventive measure was applied against Seyran Ohanyan within the framework of criminal prosecution with an expired statute of limitations, which is already a mockery of the law. In these difficult conditions for the country, the fact of another violation of the right to immunity of opposition MPs Seyran Ohanyan and Armen Gevorgyan, who have experience of contacts with foreign partners, when they are simply prohibited from representing Armenia in international organizations , once again testifies to the disintegration of democratic foundations in our country.
It is unclear whose or which country interests are served by such SIS investigators in the context of the importance of working with the CSTO and in the context of the foreign policy of these authorities, which does not yield results, but only creates problems, "the opposition bloc stressed.
Earlier, the investigating authorities refused to give permission to MP Armen Gevorgyan to travel abroad and participate in the work of the autumn session of the PACE.
