Baku – APA. The head of the Armenian Intra-National Liberation Movement Vahan Martirosyan, who fled to Azerbaijan to seek political asylum, has been wanted by the local police since September 9, said the Armenian Investigative Committee.

He is accused of grand theft, said the Committee.

According to preliminary information, Martirosyan along with his wife and child spent several days in the apartment of an acquaintance. He stole $4,000 from that apartment.

As regards the case of the alleged beating of V. Martorosyan by several subordinates of MP Mher Sedrakyan, Martirosyan was a victim in that case, but he was never questioned as a victim because he did not meet with investigators, the Investigative Committee said.

Vahan Martirosyan, head of the Armenian Intra-national Liberation Movement, together with his wife and underage child fled to Azerbaijan to seek political asylum to protect himself and his familiy.

For its activities, the opposition Intra-national Liberation Movement led by Martirosyan has faced prosecution from Armenian state authorities and different officials.
