The court in Yerevan has placed opposition deputy Arthur Sarkisyan under house arrest for two months, accused of preparing terrorist acts aimed at overthrowing the constitutional order.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot", last July, the National Assembly of Armenia supported the Prosecutor General's request for the arrest of deputy from the opposition bloc "Armenia" Arthur Sarkisyan in the case of preparing a terrorist act and seizing power.

The court in Yerevan has extended the house arrest of opposition faction deputy "Armenia" Arthur Sarkisyan for two months, who is accused of preparing terrorist acts aimed at overthrowing the constitutional order, writes "News-Armenia" on September 3.

The term of arrest was extended at the request of the prosecutor, and the objections of the defense were ignored. Those present in the hall reacted to the court's decision with shouts of "Shame." The accused himself, upon hearing the decision, suggested that the judge immediately extend the arrest for six months.

In June last year, law enforcement conducted more than 90 searches in the case of preparing a power seizure in Armenia. By court decision, the leader of the "Holy Struggle" movement, Archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan, and 14 others were detained. The day before, on June 24, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan announced the prevention of a coup and published a document with the text of the alleged opposition plan to remove him from power.

Since June 2025, there have been series of arrests of political opponents of the current government in Armenia. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan announced the opposition's preparation for a coup in the country. A new wave of arrests intensified in connection with the parliamentary elections. The party "Civil Contract," led by Pashinyan, won the elections. Commenting on its victory, Pashinyan stated that the three-headed war party has been defeated (referring to the "Strong Armenia" bloc, the "Armenia" bloc, and the "Prosperous Armenia" party).
