In the village of Sevana, in the Gegharkunik region, today, December 15, a tense situation arose during the trial of 15 soldiers who were killed in the Free Village military unit. One of the injured soldiers, Leon Khachatryan, was attacked by relatives when they attempted to ask him questions during the judicial session.

The judge intervened and requested that the relatives ask their questions in an orderly manner, as the defendant was not responding to their inquiries. However, the relatives became increasingly agitated and insisted that he answer all of their questions.

Due to the escalating tension, the court was forced to adjourn the proceedings.

It is important to note that on January 19, at 01:30, a tragic incident occurred in the territory of Azat village in the Gegharkunik region. An explosion took place in the military warehouse of the Armenian Armed Forces Unit No. N, resulting in the death of 15 soldiers. Additionally, seven conscripts were transferred to the Vardenis hospital, four of whom were discharged after receiving medical treatment, while three were taken to Yerevan’s Center for National Oncology with severe injuries.

In the aftermath of the incident, two military policemen and seven high-ranking soldiers were immediately relieved of their positions.

Just hours ago, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan tendered his government’s resignation during a meeting of the ruling party. This act was accompanied by the pouring of benzine, followed by him activating the “automatic fire protection” switch, ultimately causing further damage to the office.

The explosion is being subject to investigation under the 4th part of the COP 532 of the RA, which deals with dangerous goods, weapons, military technology, or other military supplies. Additionally, a trial is underway regarding the 3rd part of the COP 550, which addresses the violation of official duty resulting in the death of a person.
