Daron Acemoglu will join jailed mogul Samvel Karapetyan’s political movement as an economic advisor.

Armenian President Vahagn Khachaturyan offered his remarks in an interview with the Russian media outlet RTVI.

There has been no final ruling regarding the arbitration between the Armenian government and Samvel Karapetyan regarding the case of the Electric Networks of Armenia.

Karapetyan, one of Armenia’s richest men, was arrested in June after challenging the government over their attacks on the Armenian Apostolic Church.

The allocated funds do not include other expenses that might be required during the arbitration process.

Former President Levon Ter-Petrosyan and Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan are former allies.

Armenian authorities have vowed to appeal the decision and claimed that Samvel Karapetyan’s pre-trial detention is legal.
