On February 23, Tigran Postanjyan, the brother of Heritage Party parliamentary faction MP Zaruhi Postanjyan, was called to the National Security Service for questioning where he was taken under arrest, Postanjyan's attorney Hayk Alumyan told A1+.

On February 18, a case was filed against Tigran Postanjian, a leading specialist in Yerevan's Arabkir district, for receiving AMD 100,000 (about $274 US) remuneration for turning a blind eye to illegal construction done in his district.

"Law-enforcers think Tigran could hinder the investigation, escape or commit new crimes if left in freedom. We believe Tigran's arrest was not grounded," said Hayk Alumyan. Alumyan is preparing for the trial.

Zaruhi Postanjian denounced the case as baseless and politically motivated on Monday. "This is a coordinated attack against me, Heritage and the whole defiant public," she said.
