“Thanks God we have showed benignity and goodwill. We wouldn’t like to open the parentheses,” yesterday stated the chief of police of Yerevan Nerses Nazaryan when speaking of the arrest of businessman Saribek Sukiasyan. Nazaryan announced that he is on good terms with Armenian parliamentarian Ruben Hayrapetyan and businessman Saribek Sukiasyan. "No one can declare that I am ill-disposed to the Sukiasyans. It is excluded. I am similarly on good terms with Ruben Hayrapetyan, Khachatur Sukiasyan and his brother Saribek Sukiasyan. Yet, it doesn’t mean someone can commit a crime in Armenia and escape punishment. Everyone knows that an alarm was set on February 12 that Gor Davtyan was being kept in Sil Conern owned by the Sukiasians. Gevorg Ghazaryan, a friend of Gor Davtyan, told policemen that his friend was being kept in the office and was forced to sign some documents. What do you think the police should do in the given circumstances? Was I supposed to think what relations I am in with Ruben Hayrapetyan?"" Nerses Nazaryan said. Asked why the police had broken into Sil Concern by breaking the door, the chief of Yerevan police said: "Do you think we had to tiptoes into the office stealthily? In reality, the policemen went there to save a person subjected to violence." Nerses Nazaryan did not refute that rescued Gor Davtyan, had been kept in the police department till dawn. "Investigation was underway and we did not let him go for his own security. The operation was carried out with lightning speed and you needn’t pay attention to trivial things." “I don’t think Hayrapetyan has told Saribek to call Gor to their office, keep him there and threaten to sign papers. And I don’t think that I have told Saribek or their so-called bodyguard Artashes to go and get some people so that the police would arrest them later. What does this mean?”
