A court in Yerevan today rejected the petition to release Garo Yeghnukyan, a member of the Founding Parliament opposition group accused of abetting the Sasna Dzrer armed group, on an unprecedented $1 million bail. Talking to A1+ Company, Yeghnukyan’s lawyer Tigran Hayrapetyan said the Court of General Jurisdiction of Yerevan’s Arabkir and Kanaker-Zeytun administrative districts granted the motion to the investigative body and extended Yeghnukyan’s detention until March 20. The lawyer says there are no grounds to keep his client under arrest as the investigation is over and the materials have been given to the lawyers. The lawyer added that they would appeal the decision in the Court of Appeals.
