Narek Sargsyan, a nephew of Armenia’s former President Serzh Sargsyan, has been detained in Prague, Czech police spokesman Jan Danek said on Sunday.

 

According to the spokesman, Narek Sargsyan, 37, was detained in a police operation conducted on the basis of Armenia’s international warrant for arrest. He was placed in custody at a pre-trial facility until court issues an extradition ruling.
