Armen Charchyan’s Health in Poor Condition: Lawyer to Approach Court

Lawyer Erik Aleksanyan wrote on his Facebook page: “Dear compatriots, considering the fact that the media has already published information that Armen Charchyan is in the ‘Nork-Marash’ medical center, today I received his permission to provide details regarding this matter.

Therefore, I would like to inform you that the professor was hospitalized on August 24, 2021, due to compressive pain in the post-sternum area, and multiple medical interventions have been performed on him. Moreover, on 24.08.2021, the professor suffered an acute myocardial infarction, which developed while still in the penitentiary facility. In addition, A. Charchyan has also been diagnosed with stage III /crisis course/ arterial hypertension and heart failure II degree. Severe type 2 diabetes mellitus - insulin-dependent. Chronic renal failure.

Dear compatriots, as you have noticed, the professor’s health condition is currently poor. Today, I received the relevant epicrisis, which I will submit to the court tomorrow morning, and will once again request an urgent court session to discuss the issue of releasing the professor on bail, since keeping A. Charchyan in detention under such circumstances contradicts the very essence of the right to personal freedom and contains elements of torture.”
