The court extended the detention of Archbishop Bagrat for another 2 months

Archbishop Bagrat stated that he is unacceptable for house arrest on bail and a ban on leaving the country, considering it the most insulting measure. Defense attorney Hovhannes Khudoyan stated that the prosecution is illegal, based on false evidence and does not imply a criminal procedural goal. He also noted that the case is being considered in the context of an anti-church campaign, with the isolation of a clergyman with influence within the Armenian Apostolic Church, which, according to him, facilitates the campaign against the church.
