Garegin Chugaszyan, the Chairman of the \u201cFounding Parliament\u201d, was released on the evening of May 11. Chugaszyan has been on\u00a0 hunger strike for the last 17 days.<\/p>\n
Yesterday, MPs from the \u201cWay Out\u201d faction Ararat Mirzoyan (who has just been appointed First Deputy Prime Minster<\/span><\/a>) and Lena Nazaryan presented a guarantee to change the preventive measure of Chugaszyan.<\/p>\n Earlier, in his conversation with us, Chugaszyan\u2019s attorney Tigran Yegoryan said he was hopeful of his defendant\u2019s release in course of the coming days once the Court of Appeal would discuss the matter of the change of his preventive measure.<\/p>\n Right after the release Chugaszyan went to Arshakunyats Avenue that by 22:30 had been blocked by the supporters of \u201cSasna Tsrer\u201d group. They blocked the road after Judge Arshak Vardanyan had refused to change the arrest as a preventive measure of 11 members of the group<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n Recall, that Chugaszyan who has been on hunger strike for 17 days, was arrested on April 23. Prior to that, he had been in underground. He is accused of organizing mass disorders on occasion of the centennial of the Armenian Genocide in 2015. At that point he was released on bail. Later on, however, the Investigative Committee considered it necessary to arrest him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Earlier, in his conversation with us, Chugaszyan\u2019s attorney Tigran Yegoryan said he was hopeful of his defendant\u2019s release in course of the coming days once the Court of Appeal…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tstyn_error":""},"categories":[66033,65966],"tags":[59734,27329,13272],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/285585"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=285585"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/285585\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=285585"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=285585"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=285585"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
