The RA Court of Cassation, chaired by the Chairman of the Criminal Chamber Serzhik Avetisyan, examines the complaint of ex-commander of the NKR Defense Army Samvel Babayan and others on the "Igla" case filed on May 24, 2018 for the justification of acquittal. In addition to the complaint, personal letters of reccomendation were also presented to the Court of Cassation on the alteration of Samvel Babayan's detention by a number of MPs from the NA Yelk bloc and the Tsarukyan faction. It should be reminded that the First Instance Court sentenced Artsakh hero Samvel Babayan to six years imprisonment, and the Court of Appeal left the verdict unchanged. Shortly before, the Court of Cassation satisfied the complaint partially to send a case of Sanasar Gabrielyan, Armen Poghosyan and Damwed Babayan to a new trial. The petitions on changing the arrest were also satisfied. After paying the pledge, Samvel Babayan and other defendants will be released.
