Major General Michael Arzumanyan, Armenia’s deputy chief military inspector, has been urgently summoned by Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan to provide explanations regarding his engagement in politics, something which is banned under the law.

Pashinyan’s spokesperson Arman Yeghoyan told ARMENPRESS that reports emerged earlier regarding Arzumanyan’s involvement in politics in Artsakh. He said that the reports were confirmed.

A photo picturing Arzumanyan with an anti-government protest group in Artsakh was posted online.

Arzumanyan is serving as deputy chief military inspector from June 27.
