If Armenian fugitive MP Khachatur Sukiasian comes out of hiding, he will be taken under detention.

The pre-trial body today refused the advocates' motion according to which Khachatur Sukiasian cannot be taken under arrest before the end of the litigation if he comes out of hiding by July 31. 

"The pre-trial body has violated the Armenian legislation and PACE Resolution 1677 which demands that people in search be in freedom before the trial," Advocate Arthur Grigorian said to A1+.   

The decision makes the advocates believe that political persecution against their client is still ongoing.

The advocates announced that Sukiasian's return depends on a few factors and circumstances.

"I mean some subjective reasons, more precisely, we cannot make a decision or announcement instead of Sukiasian. I can only say that Khachatur Sukiasian is sure to surrender by July 31," said Mr. Grigorian.
