The Armenian court denied the investigator's motion to extend the detention of former prisoner of war Aren Aramyan, lawyer Ara Karapetyan informed on Facebook.

"The former prisoner of war and soldier who fought for the homeland will be released on February 6," Karapetyan wrote, in particular.

After being taken prisoner by Azerbaijan, Aramyan was taken from Gandzak village in Gegharkunik Province of Armenia to a hospital in the Azerbaijani capital Baku, as his health condition was severe. He was returned to Armenia on November 26, 2021 and taken to the Yerevan central military hospital where he received ten days of medical treatment, but then was apprehended by law enforcement.

During his stay in the hospital, Aramyan was interviewed as an injured party.

On December 6, he was detained and became a defendant, then a motion was submitted to arrest him, and the court granted this motion.

Aren Aramyan was charged under Criminal Code Article 365, Section 3: violating the rules of military duty or military service, which caused serious consequences.
