ArmInfo. Andranik Tevanyan, leader of the "Mother Armenia" party, will remain in custody. The Yerevan Court of General Jurisdiction has extended the politician's detention for another two months, as reported by Tevanyan's lawyer, Sergey Marabyan.
He added that the court ordered law enforcement agencies to guarantee Tevanyan's right to health and medical care at a civilian hospital. "I have just received the ruling and do not yet know what it is based on, but I can say that from a legal standpoint, a criminal case simply does not exist here," the lawyer stated.
Recall, on May 21, the Investigative Committee of Armenia announced the initiation of a criminal case against Andranik Tevanyan on charges of "high treason and espionage." Tevanyan is accused of transferring state secrets to a foreign state for $622,000. On the night of May 24, a court ruling placed Tevanyan under a two-month arrest. Furthermore, according to Tevanyan's attorney at the time, Aram Orbelyan, there were no legal grounds for his client's detention. The opposition figure's arrest reportedly occurred following direct instructions from incumbent Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan. Tevanyan himself has dismissed the investigative agency's claims as absurd, noting that he relinquished his parliamentary mandate back in 2023, meaning the Investigative Committee's allegations are baseless.
