YEREVAN, May 3. /TASS/. The office of Armenia’s prosecutor-general has opened a criminal case, ordering a probe into charges that the country’s president, Armen Sarkisyan, concealed his double citizenship before contesting the post of the head of state, the president of the Armenian Lawyers’ Union, Ara Zograbyan, said on Monday. I would like to recall that 53 lawyers filed a statement to the effect Armenia’s President Armen Sarkisyan committed a crime by keeping secret his double citizenship. The Special Investigative Service (SIS) refused to launch criminal proceedings over the lawyers’ statement. Now I can report that the Prosecutor-General’s Office has overturned the SIS decision to open a criminal case under part 1 of article 325 of the Criminal Code (forgery, sale or use of false documents), Zograbyan said on his Facebook page.

In his live address on Facebook page, the politician announced plans to continue fulfilling his duties as the prime minister until the polls.

The parliament won’t choose the new prime minister twice, after which the legislature will be dissolved under the law and snap elections will be set, he said.
