Prosperous Armenia member, former foreign minister Vartan Oskanian commented on his Facebook page on the summons of National Security Service (NSS) of Armenia for questioning.

According to him, the NSS notice says under the Art. 153 of RA Criminal-procedure Code, “the person summoned must beforehand inform of the reasonable excuses preventing his presence at the interrogation, otherwise he may be brought in by force.”

“That’s an inroad upon not only me, but Armenia’s image and democracy. I want to thank all those who joined the signature campaign to avert this political persecution. I’m very pleased to read all the sincere comments of all those having joined the campaign from different countries,” ex-minister posted on his Facebook page.
