Today, the head of Gugarats Diocese Bishop Hovnan Hakobyan, the head of Syunyats Diocese Makar Bishop Hakobyan and priest Movses were summoned to the RA Investigative Committee. In a conversation with journalists, lawyer Armine Fanyan stated this, adding that 2 of them, Reverend Hovnan and Reverend Makar, were summoned as accused.
He confirmed that his clients were called to the investigative committee in the "case" of Arman (Gevorg) Saroyan, the former leader of Masyatsotn diocese.
The lawyer believes that after today's questioning, a restraining order will be chosen against them. Referring to the decision made by Reverend Gevorg, now Arman Saroyan, Fanyan said that the court made such a decision that it had never made before.
This is a unique thing.
It means that there is already a decision to initiate criminal prosecution, naturally, measures of disruption will be chosen. Of course, the sanction of the article does not allow petitions to be submitted to apply arrest as a preventive measure, because it is a crime of no great gravity, but I assume that there will be restrictions on free movement," he said. Fanyan emphasized that the investigative body is currently a tool in the hands of the government.
Earlier, we reported that the members of the Supreme Spiritual Council were summoned to the Investigative Committee this morning, by whose decision Arman Saroyan was declared disbanded. According to Euromedia24, the CC sent them summonses to appear at 3:00 p.m. as accused.
