Today the Court of First Instance of Kentron Nork-Marash communities decided to keep Armen Babajanyan, editor-in-chief of “Zhamanak Yerevan” newspaper in custody as a prevention means. Judge Gajane Karakhanyan refused advocate Robert Grigoryan’s mediation to use pawn as prevention means.

The judge didn’t find the advocates’ arguments that Babajanyan confessed and regretted for his action and his promises that he doesn’t avoid and won’t hamper the implementation of the preliminary investigation convincing. She supported the Prosecuracy’s mediation and sentenced Arman Babajanyan to two months imprisonment.

Advocate Robert Grigoryan informed “A1+” that he will turn to the Court of Appeal within 10 days as the Court of First Instance didn’t have enough grounds to refuse their mediation. And in case there mediation is rejected their either they will qualify it as a political approach.
