18-year-old student Davit Minasyan, who participated in the incident with Nikol Pashinyan in Saint Anna Church, was detained for 2 months by the decision of judge Mnatsakan Martirosyan.

In a conversation with journalists, lawyer Armen Melkonyan said that they have not yet received the court’s justifications regarding the detention.

“They find that the 12th grade student should be in custody, but a number of people accused of particularly serious crimes can be under administrative control. The judge did not take anything into account,” said the lawyer, noting that they will definitely appeal the decision.

To the journalist’s question, what does the lawyer think, did the judge or Nikol Pashinyan make the decision, Melkonyan answered.

“I will abstain from political evaluations, let the public evaluate it.”

The lawyer said that today the court deprived Davit of the opportunity to finish school.

“After two months, it will be the last call for everyone, but not for Davit. Whose conscience is this?’
