Investigative Committee  seeking arrest warrant following incident  with PM Pashinyan at St. Anna Church

ArmInfo. The Investigative Committee (IC) of Armenia is requesting the arrest of David Minasyan, one of the twin brothers,  who was detained following the incident involving Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan at St. Anna Church in  Yerevan. The second brother, Mikael Minasyan, was released on bail,  as was the third person detained in the case, public figure Gevorg  Gevorgyan.

"I'm fine, I was treated properly. Please don't ask any more  questions," Mikael Minasyan told reporters.

As lawyer Varduhi Elbakyan clarified, despite Mikael's release, he  remains a formal defendant in the case.  The investigation into  Mikael Minasyan has been completed. However, David Minasyan still has  to testify.  Gevorg Gevorgyan has been released on the condition of a  5 million AMD bail, which must be paid within three days.

It is worth noting that the Investigative Committee has launched  a  case under the Criminal Code article "interference in the lawful  official or political activity of an official," despite the fact that  Prime Minister Pashinyan has repeatedly stated that he attends Sunday  liturgies solely as an ordinary parishioner of the Armenian Apostolic  Church.
