" If there is a health issue, it is solved in the detention center," Arayik Arutyunyan said during the court hearing today, APA reports.

The defendant Arayik Arutyunyan stated that, unlike the other defendants, no petition was filed by his lawyer or himself for house arrest, and also mentioned that he had no complaints about his health: "In general, I have not heard any complaints about the health of the other defendants."

Today, the next hearing in the criminal case regarding crimes against peace and humanity, war crimes, including the conduct of aggressive warfare, genocide, forced population relocation, persecution, torture, robbery, and other illegal acts committed by Armenia and its armed forces, as well as the so-called "Nagorno-Karabakh Republic" created by Armenia in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan, continued.

The lawyers of most of the defendants in the trial requested that the preventive measures of their clients be replaced with house arrest.

Defendants Arkady Ghukasyan, Bako Sahakyan, Melikset Pashayan, and Davit Allahverdiyan requested that their motions be granted and they be released under house arrest.

The other defendants left it up to the court to decide whether or not to grant the motion.

The next court session will be held on January 27, and decisions on the motions will be announced during that session.
