According to Armenian News-NEWS.am, Minister of Justice of Armenia Rustam Badasyan has instituted disciplinary proceedings against Judge Arman Hovhannisyan of the Yerevan Court of General Jurisdiction.

The presses are spreading news according to which the reason for the disciplinary proceedings is the decision to reject the motion submitted by the National Security Service to choose arrest as a pre-trial measure for commander of the Sisakan military detachment Ashot Minasyan (a.k.a. Ashot Yerkat) under the case of the latter stated in the report that Prosecutor General of Armenia Artur Davtyan had submitted to the Minister of Justice of Armenia.

In this regard, several advocates are supporting Judge Hovhannisyan on their Facebook pages.
