In the criminal case No. ED1/1267/01/24, examined in the First Instance Court of General Jurisdiction of Yerevan, our office’s attorney, Edgar Ayvazyan, represented the defendant N.H., who had been charged under Article 452, Part 4, Clause 2 of the Criminal Code of Armenia for committing a serious crime—namely, using violence against a police officer in order to interfere with their official duties.
Upon reviewing the case, the court reclassified the charge in its verdict issued on February 24, 2025, under Article 171, Part 1, Clause 1 of the Criminal Code of Armenia, qualifying it as a misdemeanor—specifically, intentional infliction of minor bodily harm.
We thank Judge Susanna Gzogyan for issuing a lawful and fair judicial decision.
