The criminal must undergo punishment no matter whose relative he is and what party he belongs to, Eduard Sharmazanov, Vice Speaker of Armenian Parliament, Spokesman for the ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA), says when commenting on the recent incident in Goris.
"A criminal is a criminal no matter whether he is a member of the Prosperous Armenia Party or the Republican Party of Armenia. Our assessment, the RPA's assessment is absolutely clear - there are law- enforcement structures and the criminal must undergo punishment", says Sharmazanov.
To note, due to the measures taken by the Armenian law-enforces, residents of Goris Gor Harutyunyan and Eyner Khachatryan appeared before the Goris
