YEREVAN, October 15. /ARКА/. The "Mer Dzevov" movement will hold a rally in Yerevan on October 18 in support of arrested Tashir Group president and philanthropist Samvel Karapetyan, according to one of his supporters, Aleksan Aleksanyan.

The rally, which begins at 4:30 PM, will take place on Saturday at Freedom Square.

On Wednesday, the Anti-Corruption Court of Armenia continues to consider a motion to extend Samvel Karapetyan's pretrial detention.

Samvel Karapetyan has been in custody since June 18 and is accused of publicly calling for the seizure of power. This occurred after Karapetyan, following a meeting with Catholicos of All Armenians Garegin II, stated that he had always been on the side of the Armenian Church and the Armenian people, and if politicians were unsuccessful, "we are ready to participate in all of this in our own way." Karapetyan denies the charges against him.
