The “My Step” faction did not express a position, but gave its consent to the petitions of the prosecutor’s Office on lifting the immunity and depriving Gagik Tsarukyan of his liberty.

Sisak Gabrileyan, a member of the “My Step” faction, said this during the parliamentary briefing.

“The court made the decision that you all know. I don’t want to respond to this either, because I know that the prosecutor’s office will appeal and the case will still be heard in the Court of Appeals, so at this point the opinion may be influenced or perceived that the ruling political force is trying to influence the judicial process. Yes, we did not come up with questions and speeches to emphasize our attitude, trying to keep neutrality as much as possible,” the MP said.

As for the decision of the court of first instance, he noted, “In fact, there is a judge who records that Gagik Tsarukyan is not strong enough to influence anyone.”
