The Yerevan Court of General Jurisdiction has allowed Armen Gevorgyan, an MP from the opposition Hayastan bloc, to travel to Strasbourg to attend the summer plenary session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE).

Presiding judge Anna Danibekyan on Tuesday granted a motion filed by Gevorgyan’s lawyer Lusine Sahakyan to allow her client to leave for the session scheduled for June 19-25.

The prosecutors did not object to the request, leaving the decision to the discretion of the court.

Gevorgyan is standing trial for alleged corruption and money laundering.
