Fifteen people have already been arrested in connection with the attempted armed seizure of power in Armenia, according to the Investigative Committee,

EDnews reports, citing Armenian press.

The court granted all the motions filed by the investigation and arrested the accused, including Archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan, the leader of the Sacred Struggle movement.

The Investigative Committee said that during the searches, a large number of incendiary devices designed to damage the internet and electrical cables were found.

Lawyer Alexander Kochubayev noted on the social network that his client, Armen Aleksanyan, was mistakenly arrested.

"Investigators made a mistake when investigating telephone conversations and attributed the actions of another person to my client," he wrote.

On June 25, the Investigative Committee reported on the preparation of terrorist acts by members of the Sacred Struggle party to seize power in Armenia. Extensive searches were conducted at the houses of Galstanyan and his supporters. They were arrested that evening.
