The accused man, who had supported the «Sasna Tsrer» group, was released on bail

Karen Khachatryan, who had been accused in supporting the “Sasna Tsrer” group, was released on bail for pledge of 800.000 AMD. The Court of General Jurisdiction of Yerevan satisfied the motion filed by his defense lawyer Arayik Papikyan at a closed-door session. The Special Investigation Service had applied to the court asking them to prolong the duration of the preventive measure for Karen Khachatryan, arrested on April 8, for another two months.

Karen Khachatryan was accused in having a telephone conversation with two of the “Sasna Tsrer” group members during which he provided them with some advice. Meanwhile, according to his defense lawyer Arayik Papikyan, the accusation made, as well as the circumstances of the case are spurious and they do not correspond to reality.
