Defense lawyer Tatev Soghoyan has challenged the prosecution’s evidence in the criminal case involving opposition figures Aregnaz Manukyan and Andranik Tevanyan, saying a document examined in court contained no classified information.
According to Soghoyan, prosecutors presented a meeting transcript that Manukyan allegedly passed to Tevanyan. The lawyer maintained that the document contained no state secrets and had not been classified, Pastinfo reported.
Tevanyan, a member of the Mother Armenia movement, has been held in pretrial detention since May 23 on charges of espionage and high treason. Manukyan is also involved in the same criminal proceedings.
