Interior minister rejects Parakar defendant's claim about Vardanyan

Interior Minister Arpine Sargsyan stated that the claim made in court about former deputy police chief Vardan Vardanyan has nothing to do with reality, calling it absurd. According to the minister, who was at the Vagharshapat police department at the time of the incident, the evidence obtained is known to the minister. Defendant Gevorg Harutyunyan had claimed in court that he did not kill community head Valodya Grigoryan and that he gave his confession under threats from Vardanyan.
