YEREVAN, July 27. /ARKA/. Yuri Khachaturov, secretary general of the Collective Security Treaty Organization, will be at large pending trial.

His lawyer Mihran Poghosyan told journalists that Khachaturov will be released on bail when he pays AMD 5 million.

Earlier, a criminal charge was brought against Yuri Khachaturov. He is charged with toppling constitutional order in collusion with other persons, and the agency has applied to court for a detention warrant.  

Khachaturov is charged over the bloody events of March 1, 2008.
