Politics

The preventive punishment of Armenian parliamentarian Khachatur Sukiassian's bodyguards has been reviewed. Arsen Asatrian and Marat Baghdasarian have been released.

They had been arrested before the March 1 events with eight other bodyguards who were released shortly afterwards.

Arsen Asatrian and Marat Baghdasarian were allegedly charged with carrying cartridges.

After the Armenian tycoon, Khachatur Sukiassian, had been arrested the Sukiassians made a statement saying that the arrest was an attempt to defame the family reputation. They stated that a few TV Companies, particularly H1 and “Kentron” had joined their efforts disseminating unverified and false information.
