Journalists asked the head of the Prosperous Armenia party, Gagik Tsarukyan, about whether or not the President of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, spent the night at his house, and if so, what issues they discussed. Tsarukyan responded, “Alexander Grigoryevich did not spend the night at my house. He is my friend, he spent the night at the Government Reception House.”
When asked what issues they discussed, Tsarukyan responded by laughing loudly.
Referring to his friend, Sedrak Arustamyan, who has been charged in a criminal case, Tsarukyan said, “Everyone is equal according to the law. Law enforcement agencies are investigating the case. When they are finished, they will publish their decision. It will be clear for everyone.”
When asked if he tried to clarify what happened, why Arustamyan was specifically targeted, and whether all clues lead to him, Tsarukyan said, “Isn’t Arustamyan a citizen? I haven’t noticed anything. I said that everyone is equal according to the law. There is an investigation. When the investigation is complete, everything will be clear. I haven’t spoken to him about anything.”
