Army general responsible for Azerbajani general's death detained in Armenia

The Investigative Committee of Armenia has detained Major General Grigory Khachaturov.

A petition for his arrest is being prepared, Caliber.Az reports, citing the Armenian media.

Khachaturov commanded the 3rd Army Corps of the Armenian Armed Forces, which was responsible for the escalation of hostilities in July 2020 on the border with Azerbaijan and the death of Major General Polad Gashimov of the Azerbaijani army.

Khachaturov's father is former CSTO Secretary General Yuri Khachaturov.

Probably, with his arrest, Pashinyan is trying to protect himself from the pro-Russian column that retains influence in the army.
