The square writes:
Jalal Harutyunyan, the former commander of the Armed Forces, sentenced to 5.5 years, who is serving his sentence in "Vardashen" Penitentiary, has been "online" on Telegram for several days now. He was tried in the case of the 44-day war for "military official negligence" under the article "negligently causing the death of a person". He has been serving the sentence since the fall of 25.
According to the source of the Penitentiary, the probation service reviewed the conditions of his detention: it is an open regime, which means to leave the prison, work, etc.
We were told that the government was waiting for the elections to change Jalal's regime, the next step will be to release him on parole on the basis that one-third of his sentence has been served. They say that Harutyunyan behaved correctly: in his testimony, he "cleared" Pashinyan of the guilt of losing the war.
He even complained to his relatives that he did not understand why they put him behind bars. The fact is that they are kinder to him than, say, Mikael Arzumanyan, who held a position in the last days of the war, but he sat for a long time and has been under house arrest for several months. We tried to get an explanation from the public relations department or the lawyer of Jalal Harutyunyan about the regime change, but our calls remained unanswered.
