According to Oxu.Az citing Armenian media, the Investigative Committee's press service reported the arrest.
Preliminary investigation identified one of the individuals preparing the assassination. Mirzoyan, who had been living abroad since 2024, allegedly acquired means to kill the PM as part of a group of at least four people.
