As part of the same criminal case, the Investigative Committee also indicted in early June four other former officials who had served during Sarkisian’s rule. The 51-year-old was moved to house arrest in September 2024 and set free a year later pending a verdict in his trial which is still going on. The HHK did not run in the elections but urged supporters to vote for other major opposition groups. They both are based in Gyumri and were on the list of election candidates of former President Robert Kocharian’s Hayastan alliance. One of them, Ara Nashkarian, was placed under house arrest shortly after his detention.
