    PUBLIC TV SAYS GEORGIAN AUTHORITIES ARREST FUGITIVE PARLIAMENT MEMBER'S BROTHER

    ARMENPRESS
    April 2, 2008

    YEREVAN, APRIL 2, ARMENPRESS: Armenian Public TV reported Tuesday that
    Robert Sukiasian, the brother of a fugitive parliament member Khachatur
    Sukiasian, had been arrested in neighboring Georgia three weeks ago.

    Public TV said he was arrested for illegal crossing of the border in
    an effort to leave for a third country. He was arrested at Tbilisi
    airport when trying to go aboard a plane bound for a third country.

    Khachatur Sukiasian had gone into hiding after March 1 unrest in
    Yerevan. Armenian law-enforcement bodies want him for taking part
    in a plot to usurp power. He is a parliament member, and a close
    supporter of ex-president Levon Ter-Petrosian.

    Armenian National Assembly (parliament) voted last month to lift his
    and three other fellow lawmakers parliament immunity to allow their
    prosecution on charges of attempting to seize power.
