Arayik Hakobyan, a member of the Sasna Tzrer group charged with the armed seizure of a Yerevan police building in 2016, was released from pre-trial detention today after three Tsarukyan Alliance MPs submitted their personal guarantees, and a 500,000-dram promissory note each, that Hakobyan would not flee prosecution.

The three MPs vouching for Hakobyan were Naira Zohrabyan, Vahe Enfiajyan and Sergei Bagratyan.
