ArmInfo.The head of the ''Tseghakron'' party, Shant Harutyunyan, was released from the Vardashen penal institution. The lawyer of Arutyunyan Inessa  Petrosyan has informed the correspondent of ArmInfo about that.

To note Shant Harutyunyan was released under an amnesty.  To recall  the head of the ''Tseghakron'' party, Shant Harutyunyan, was arrested  on November 8, 2013, in the case of riots. On October 17, 2014, a  judge of the administrative districts of Yerevan Kentron and Nork-  Marash sentenced Harutyunyan to 6 years of imprisonment, on charges  of violent resistance to a representative of the authorities. In  September 2015, the lawyer of Harutyunyan Inessa Petrosyan appealed  to the European Court of Human Rights.

In turn, after the "Velvet Revolution", Prime Minister Nikol  Pashinyan suggested that Harutyunyan change the measure of his  suppression, but he refused, demanding justification. Pashinyan  refused this, arguing that, like the previous authorities, he could  not manage the courts.
