Yerevan, 24 May: Armenia’s Court of Appeals turned down today [24 May]
the appeal of former Armenian Foreign Minister Aleksandr Arzumanyan.
Effectively, Arzumanyan will remain in custody at least by 8 July
[2007] according to the 8 May ruling of a Yerevan court of first
instance.
Arzumanyan, who was Armenia’s foreign minister in the years when the
Pan-Armenian National Movement was in power, was arrested and detained
earlier in May on money laundering suspicion.
Vahan Shirkhanyan, a former Armenian minister for coordinating
industrial infrastructures and a former deputy defence minister,
is engaged in the same case as a witness.
