ArmInfo. The Criminal Court of Appeal, chaired by Judge Ruben Mkhitaryan, decided to satisfy the complaint of the Prosecutor General's Office and again arrest a member of the Hayastan bloc, former director of the Izmirlian Medical Center Armen Charchyan.
It should be noted that on July 21 the Court of General Jurisdiction of Yerevan, chaired by Judge Vahe Misakyan, made a decision to satisfy the petition of the defenders to release Armen Charchyan on bail, the amount of which was 15 million AMD. To remind, Charchyan was charged on June 18 under Article 154.2 of the RA Criminal Code for bribing voters, violating the prohibition on charity during elections or obstructing the free expression of the will of the voter. It should be noted that Armen Charchyan is a lawmaker of the RA National Assembly of the 8th convocation, and in accordance with the law enjoys parliamentary immunity. For the arrest of the latter, the National Assembly of Armenia must give appropriate permission. Meanwhile, as you know, the Armenian parliament did not give such permission.
