Badasyan, a participant in the first and second Karabakh wars, was taken to the National Security Service, AzVision.az reports citing Armenian media.
Gor Abrahamyan, an adviser to Armenia’s attorney general, confirmed Badasyan’s detention.
Badasyan earlier called for the physical elimination of PM Pashinyan. “Pashinyan must be eliminated not only because he is a symbol of defeat, but also an enemy,” he stressed.
