Yerevan /Mediamax/. Armenia’s National Assembly backed at a closed voting today the petition of the Prosecutor General to strip off Armenia faction deputy Armen Charchyan, former director of the Izmirlyan Medical Center, of his parliamentary immunity and initiate criminal proceedings against him.
Only Civil Contract faction participated in the voting. Sixty-seven deputies voted for, one ballot has been recognized invalid.
Armenia and I Have Honor factions previously announced that they would not participate in the discussion and voting of the petition.

Armen Charchyan denies the accusations.
