Armenia’s Investigative Committee confirmed the charges after a Ukrainian citizen told law enforcement that two servicemen beat him in Gyumri about a month earlier.
Two Russian servicemen from the military base in Gyumri are detained in an Armenian prison on charges of causing minor bodily harm, Armenia’s Investigative Committee confirmed to Azatutyun. Civic.am, a news site close to the governing Civil Contract party, carried Azatutyun’s account.
Ukrainian citizen Dmitri Samuelenko told law enforcement that two servicemen had beaten him in Gyumri’s Ani district about a month before the November 9 account. The reason for the alleged assault remains unknown.
The committee said it opened proceedings under a provision concerning physical violence by a group of people and ordered a forensic medical examination. It described the separate charges against the two servicemen as causing minor bodily harm.
Tert.am reported that neither the Russian base nor Russia’s embassy in Armenia had commented on this incident.
A group representing Cboe Global Markets and Citadel Securities sued to reverse the approval, arguing that the regulator wrongly classified the contracts and downplayed their risks.
