The way he was “invited,” however, said Ohanyan, was very questionable since he was followed home without a summons. The activist says no investigation was carried out, but he has to return to the National Security Service with his attorney at 4 pm today.

Epress.am has been informed that he is being held by the National Security Service investigations division.

The reason for his being detained is still unknown. Joining him is his attorney Kolya Baghdasaryan.
