Police of Italy besieged hotel room of the leader of Armenian oppositional “Yelq” faction, Nikol Pashinyan in Rome. They wanted to arrest him. Later MP posted on his Facebook page:
“Since, as far as I understand, not many could have guessed the outcome of the morning incident, I consider it necessary to inform that the misunderstanding was settled on the spot when I explained to the Italian policemen who I was presenting my documents.
In the posted picture I show my imprisonment and trial videos to the policemen on Youtube and publications on this topic in the international press.
Of course, they insisted that I went to the police station with them for long, but I explained that it would not be done.
Ultimately, after making some clarifications within about 30 minutes, they finally apologized and left.
But I must say that they had organized a serious operation, involving a large number of police and special services. Perhaps they had thought that someone escaping from Interpol since 2008 should have been a serious criminal”.
