ArmInfo.Former commander of the Artsakh Defense Army Mikayel Arzumanyan has been released from custody.
His lawyer Yerem Sargsyan told journalists about this on August 31.
According to him, the term of detention of the former commander, chief adviser to the President of Artsakh, Mikayel Arzumanyan, has expired, and he has been released from custody. The lawyer added that the prosecution filed a motion to apply arrest as a measure of restraint, which will be considered later.
Sargsyan emphasized that Arzumanyan does not accept the accusations against him.
Yesterday, the law enforcement agencies of Armenia detained Arzumanyan when he was heading from Artsakh to Armenia. The RA Investigative Committee accuses the former commander of official negligence during the defense of the city of Shushi in the fall of 2020. Lieutenant General Arzumanyan was appointed commander of the Defense Army in October 2020 and was relieved of his post in September 2021.
