After previous statement, Balasanyan became target of harsh criticism by govt supporters, who called to fire/jail/punish the Karabakh war hero, stated his wartime achievements can't be enough for him to criticize Pashiinyan.
Police Organized Crime dept is holding the action, say, they have info the car may have weapon inside, but they have no court order, so no action is implemented.
Vitaly Balasanyan, major figure of #Karabakh war, initiated hitting #Azerbaijan staff in Aghdam during #AprilWar, causing major attack fail by Aliyev army. Fact that he was stopped by Organized Crime unit in Yerevan after criticizing #Pashinyan is more than outrageous
So having no order, no actions were taken, Balasanyan was freed.
Answering journalists questions, he said he arrived for his friends dad's 90th anniversary yesterday, havn't talked or met Kocharyan.

#Armenia says, #Azerbaijan shelled #Stepanakert & outskirts.
Then Azerbaijan says, Karabakh shell #Ganja.
Then Armenia says, Azerbaijan shells Khnatsakh, Artsvanik & David Bek (Armenia). 2 drones are downed in Armenia.
No shelling for some days. So who started this now?
#Azerbaijan media shares vid of #Armenia|n Grad in action, claim Armenians target Ganja & Mingechaur.
Armenian Grad has 20km range.
Distance to Ganja: 40km, Mingechaur: 50+.
I trust @ShStepanyan. And there are more important targets, than civilian houses.
One of the most dangerous aspects of war - is endless cycle of revenges. Murder, and revenge, and revenge for revenge, w/ no end. Previous war revenges had already passed away in 30 yrs. No we are gaining new ones. And why is this for? For #Aliyev revanchism?
#Azerbaijan killed 2 #Armenia|n captives, likely #Hadrut district. Video shows an old & a younger man are ordered to approach to Azeri soldiers w/ hands in the air. Next video shows both, old man face covered w/ blood, but moving. Then soldiers gunshot them.
"Families gathered at #Syria-#Turkey border, waiting for drivers to dispense 52 Syrian men bodies, killed in war 600m away. They were mercenaries, recruited by Turkey-backed militias to fight on behalf of #Azerbaijan against #Armenia, relatives said" washingtonpost.com/world/middle_e…
And another flight route to Baku from Bagram, #Afghanistan these day. Afghanistan is very likely provides mercenaries/weaponry to #Azerbaijan.
Air siren wailing in #Stepanakert. Video taken from the open-air cafe, I always go when visiting #Karabakh.
Streets empty, people are in basements under air strike.
This woman's father, husband, brother and son are at front line. They are safe and brave. It's a war. We are going to win like in previous war, she says.
