“the situation in the criminal case against Vahan Kerobyan is as follows.
as of today,all the accused in that case are already at liberty,most of them have returned to their previous jobs,including the Ministry of Economy.
House arrest against Vahan Kerobyan with all possible restrictions (he is not even allowed to receive medical services) on 12.04.2024. it was extended for another two months.
reasoning and justifications are laughable at first sight, but in fact, in the field of justice, particularly, the institutions of preliminary inquiry, prosecutorial control and judicial control continue to be in a state of crisis and have a rather low level of analytical capabilities and are highly dependent on post-Soviet repressive mechanisms.
According to the petition for extension and the decision of the court, the justifications we presented, the personal and family situation and circumstances of V.Kerobyan were not taken into account. The personal guarantees of 45 recognized and authoritative figures in the RA and international circles were ignored, as well as the possibility of using bail.
According to the official position, the prosecuting body needs to detain V. kerobyan for another two months, because they still have to study manny papers in their offices and interrogate a couple of people.
And the real reasons are completely different, we have talked about them and will continue to talk about them.”

Interview with Legal Expert on the Vahan Kerobyan Case
Editor: welcome to Time.news,where we delve into pressing legal matters. Today, we have with us Dr. Anahit Shahnazaryan, a renowned expert in criminal law. Dr. Shahnazaryan, thank you for joining us.
Dr. Shahnazaryan: Thank you for having me. It’s a pleasure to discuss such an vital issue.
Editor: Let’s dive right in. The recent developments in the Vahan Kerobyan case have raised some eyebrows, especially with all accused being released while he remains under house arrest. What are yoru thoughts on this situation?
Dr. Shahnazaryan: It’s indeed a perplexing situation. As you mentioned, most of the accused have returned to their jobs without facing restrictions. Meanwhile, Vahan kerobyan’s house arrest continues, with significant limitations, including a ban on receiving medical services. This differential treatment raises questions about the fairness and clarity of the judicial process.
Editor: You noted that the prosecution cited a need for further investigation as a justification. how valid do you find this reasoning in light of the overall circumstances?
dr. Shahnazaryan: At first glance, the justifications provided by the prosecuting body appear rather superficial.The extension of his house arrest for another two months, citing the need to study documents and conduct additional interrogations, seems more procedural than substantive. It hints at a systemic crisis within the preliminary inquiry and prosecutorial oversight that reflects poorly on the overall justice system.
Editor: You mentioned the low level of analytical capabilities within these institutions. Can you elaborate on how this affects cases like Kerobyan’s and the judicial system in general?
Dr. Shahnazaryan: Certainly. The efficiency and reliability of judicial processes rely heavily on the analytical skills of investigators and prosecutors.If these institutions are struggling, it can lead to misguided decisions that impact the lives of individuals profoundly. In Kerobyan’s case, despite presenting personal guarantees from 45 reputable figures, including international authorities, these endorsements were disregarded. This undermines public trust in the judicial system and its ability to operate fairly without bias towards individuals.
Editor: Are there any pressing implications for the economy and society stemming from this case?
Dr. Shahnazaryan: absolutely. When respected figures like Vahan Kerobyan, who is associated with the Ministry of Economy, face prolonged detentions while others are released, it sends waves of uncertainty throughout the business environment. Investors and international partners may become wary of instability in legal proceedings, perhaps impacting economic growth and public confidence in governance.
Editor: Given this context,what advice would you offer to individuals who might find themselves entangled in such legal predicaments?
Dr.Shahnazaryan: First and foremost, it’s crucial to seek expert legal counsel.Understanding your rights and the intricacies of your case can make a substantial difference. Additionally, maintaining transparency and securing support from credible individuals in society can also be beneficial. Lastly, staying informed about the broader legal landscape can empower individuals to navigate their situations more effectively.
Editor: Thank you, Dr. shahnazaryan,for your insights. It’s clear that the Vahan Kerobyan case is more than just a legal matter; it resonates deeply with the state of our judicial system and its implications for society.
Dr. Shahnazaryan: Thank you for the chance to discuss this crucial topic. I hope that this case will eventually lead to necessary reforms in our legal institutions.
