Actor Vahagn Simonyan has launched a sit-in in front of the RA General Prosecutor's Office. The actor says he is facing an issue. Vahagn Simonyan was charged with hooliganism in 2015, and not leaving the country was chosen as a precautionary measure against him. "I have an invitation to take part in a fictional film by Mosfilm. We have brought millions of papers to the court to allow me to go, shoot and come back because this is my daily bread and they do not allow me by mentioning the signature of the citizen for not leaving the country," says Vahagn Simonyan. Vahagn Simonyan does not admit his accusation and, moreover, claims that this is an order against him. In his opinion, this is the work of the former authorities. The actor also mentions that he is the victim, and he should not be accused of a fake business. "It's a band, they attacked me, and the attorney sitting beside me was kidnapped," says Vahagn Simonyan.
