The supervising prosecutor has not appealed the decision to lift the travel restriction imposed on Armenia’s third president, Serzh Sargsyan, Factor.am reports.
“The grounds for applying the travel restriction had already ceased to exist at the time the Anti-Corruption Court made its decision. Therefore, the supervising prosecutor did not appeal the court’s ruling,” the authority stated.
In February 2026, Anti-Corruption Court judge Vardges Sargsyan, after reviewing a complaint filed by the defense, ordered the investigative body to lift the preventive measure imposed on Sargsyan.
Although the Prosecutor’s Office had earlier told media it intended to appeal the decision, this was ultimately not carried out.
At present, three cases involving Serzh Sargsyan are being examined at the Anti-Corruption Court, while another case remains under investigation at the Anti-Corruption Committee.
After judges in the ongoing court cases decided to lift the travel restriction, effectively leaving Sargsyan without a preventive measure in those proceedings, the Prosecutor’s Office initiated public criminal prosecution against him in a separate case handled by the Anti-Corruption Committee.
A travel restriction was again imposed as a preventive measure in that case. It was this decision that was challenged in court, leading to the ruling obliging the investigative body to lift the restriction.
