Armenian ex-foreign minister’s detention extended by two months
YEREVAN May 5
A court in Yerevan has extended the detention of ex-Foreign Minister
Alexander Arzumanian by another two months.
The judge of the general court in the Center and Nork-Marash districts
argued that "Arzumanian represents a flight risk if at large and could
commit a new crime," the defendant’s lawyer Ovik Arsenian told the
press on Monday.
Arzumanian was the campaign manager of ex-presidential candidate Levon
Ter-Petrosian. He was arrested on March 10 on charges of attempted
regime change, money laundering and instigation of mass unrest.
