Gaghik Țarukian, liderul partidului Armenia Prosperă, "a fost eliberat din închisoare" pentru că "plasarea lui în detenție era ilegală", a anunțat avocatul său, Erem Sarkisian, pe Facebook, după o decizie în acest sens a tribunalului de la Erevan, capitala armeană. Mai mulți avocați ai celor zece reprezentanți marcanți ai opoziției arestați joi au anunțat eliberarea pe același temei a clienților lor. Circa 2.000 de soldați ruși dintr-o forță de menținere a păcii sunt în curs de desfășurare în regiune. Pașinian a dat asigurări că a semnat acest acord "dureros" la cererea armatei și a responsabililor separatiști, și că în lipsa acestuia întreaga regiune ar fi trecut sub control azer.
