Gagik Sargsyan was arrested

ARF member Gagik Sargsyan, who was arrested in the case of planting explosives near the house of KP MP Gagik Melkonyan and the KP office, was detained. Yerevan Court of Common Jurisdiction, presided over by Judge Hovhannes Avagyan, partially satisfied the investigator's request to choose Sargsyan's arrest as a preventive measure, detaining Sargsyan for a month. Lawyer Vahe Yeprikyan informed "Pastinfo" about it.

Let's remind that on March 13, National Security Service special forces broke into Gagik Sargsyan's house and, as his son said, they searched the house, ransacked it completely, and then arrested him. Later it became known that Gagik Sargsyan was arrested in connection with the discovery of explosive materials near Gagik Melkonyan and the police office, which the police described as a "terrorist operation". Three more persons are being prosecuted in that case, two of whom have already been arrested.

Gagik Sargsyan's defense attorney Vahe Yeprikyan said that Sargsyan did not plead guilty to the charges presented, moreover, the charge is very abstract, it clearly does not meet the criminal procedure standards, in particular, it is not known what specific actions he carried out in terms of the said crime, and the CC The title of the message that "terrorist cases have been revealed" is strictly exaggerated.
