Pashinyan wants to arrest the CSTO Secretary General out of personal revenge
The Special Investigation Service of Armenia accused the Secretary General of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) Yuri Khachaturov of overthrowing the constitutional order and appealed to the court for a sanction for his arrest Khachaturov.
The charge was brought as part of a criminal case regarding the dispersal of protests in Yerevan on March 1, 2008. Khachaturov then commanded the Yerevan garrison of the Armenian Armed Forces.
The current Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan was an active participant in those protests. They resulted in mass unrest and clashes with the forces of law and order, including the garrison commanded by Khachaturov. As a result, 10 people were killed and about 200 were injured.
Pashinyan also received his current post as a result of protests. Today he was in Moscow, where he held talks with his Russian counterpart Dmitry Medvedev.
