Today Confidant of Levon Ter-Petrossian, painter Tigran Baghdasarian
has been fined 100.000 AMD for offering resistance to the police on
March 1. The decision was made in the Kentron and Nork-Marash General
Jurisdiction Court, by Judge Armen Khachatrian.

The latter noted that the preliminary sum for fine was fixed to be
350.000 AMD, but taking into consideration the fact that Baghdasarian
had been under detention between March 1 – May 12, the fine was
reduced to 100.000 AMD.

Reminder: Tigran Baghdasarian is accused under Article 316 /using
violence against the authority/.

Lawyer Ara Zakarian was discontent with the decision and stated his
intention to appeal it in the Court of Concession.
