According to Armenian News-NEWS.am, the Court of General Jurisdiction of Syunik Province of Armenia today rendered a decision to release Mayor of Kajaran Manvel Paramazyan on bail.

On July 9, Paramazyan was charged with giving bribes to voters, taking bribes, violating the ban on charity during elections, or obstructing the exercise of a voter's free will. He doesn’t accept the charges and finds that all this is a part of the chain of political persecution launched against him.
