“It was a manifestation of good will”
Tigran Postanjyan, the brother of Heritage Party MP Zaruhi Postanjyan, has been transferred to the Nubarashen penitentiary by the order of the Investigation Department of the National Security Service.
Commenting on Postanjyan's transfer, Advocate Hayk Alumyan said the authorities aim to pressurize his client with the help of criminal elements of the "Nubarashen" Penitentiary.
Shahen Tonoyan, a spokesman for the Office of the Prosecutor-General, labelled Alumyan's statement as sheer nonsense saying that the pre-trial body had taken into consideration the colpaints of Heritage party and international structures according to which Tigran Petrosyan was subjected to psycoligical pressure in the Kentron penitentiary.
"The transfer was a manifestation of good will," said Tonoyan.
Tigran Postanjian, a leading specialist in Yerevan's Arabkir district, is accused of receiving AMD 100,000 (about $274 US) remuneration for turning a blind eye to illegal construction done in his district.
