According to Kocharyan's office chief Bagrat Mikoyan, the former president had recently undergone a medical procedure, prompting his doctor to recommend additional examinations as a precaution.

Kocharyan was detained as part of a criminal investigation into alleged corruption-related offenses. The Anti-Corruption Committee is pursuing detention as a preventive measure pending court proceedings.
