Goris mayor’s lawyer says new charges expected against Arushanyan to select arrest as pre-trial measure
The detention of Goris mayor Arush Arushamyan is unlawful, his lawyer said outside the Investigative Committee’s building today.
“We have sent the electronic version of the appeal to the Yerevan first instance court and are waiting for court’s response. We hope for quick response, and this illegal process will stop,” he said.
The lawyer stressed that they cannot charge a person for organization of legal gathering.
“It is unlawful, I suppose this is a political process,” he said.
“I have also learnt that apart from this criminal case, there are other cases too which they will unite in one. It is not excluded that within hours new charges will be filed against Arushanyan under graver articles to elect arrest as pre-trial measure,” the lawyer said.
