Investigative Committee  petitions court to arrest  Aregnaz Manukyan

ArmInfo.  Aregnaz Manukyan, a board member of the "Mother Armenia" party, has been detained as part of an investigation into the disclosure of state secrets conducted by  the Investigative Committee of Armenia. The Committee has formally  petitioned the court to authorize her arrest, as reported to ArmInfo  by the press service of the Investigative Committee. 

The agency stated that Manukyan is a suspect in a case initiated  under Part 1 of Article 427 of the Criminal Code of Armenia  (publication of information classified as a state secret). "Manukyan  has been detained and will be brought before the court to determine a  preventive measure. A motion for her arrest has been filed," the  Committee reported.

Earlier on the morning of July 9, Manuk Sukiasyan, head of the  "Mother Armenia" faction in the Yerevan Council of Elders, announced  on his Facebook page that law enforcement officers had arrived at  Aregnaz Manukyan's residence and taken her into custody.

It is worth noting that on June 12, 2026, searches were also  conducted at Manukyan's apartment. At that time, the Investigative  Committee stated that those investigative actions were carried out as  part of a criminal proceeding related to espionage and high treason.
