A1+ to webcast Sukiasian's press conference
Pro-opposition tycoon and ex-member of parliament Khachatur Sukiasian will speak today after more than three years' silence.
Khachatur Sukiasian voiced support in September 2007 for former President Levon Ter-Petrosian's bid to return to power. The tycoon was among several Ter-Petrosian associates who fled the country to escape arrest following the February 2008 presidential election.
Sukiasian surrendered to the police in September and was set free three days later despite remaining charged with organizing the March 2008 "mass riots" in Yerevan. Law-enforcement also allowed him to leave the country, ostensibly for receiving medical treatment abroad.
