The Court of General Jurisdiction of Yerevan’s Kentron and Nork-Marash
districts finished the court hearings on the case of Iranian Armenian
Vardges Gaspar. The latter was Levon Ter-Petrosyan’s proxy during
the Presidential election of February 19, 2008.
Vardges Gaspar is charged under Article 1 of the Criminal Code
/violence against a government representative/.
Prosecutor Koryun Piloyan asked to sentence the defendant to 1.6
years of imprisonment.
"Your steps are illegal and do not stem from the requirements of the
law, and we have every reason to doubt the impartiality of the court
ruling," announced Advocate Ara Zakarian and left the courtroom. Ara
Zakarian requested three working days to submit his resignation.
The court will bring in the verdict at 1:00 p.m. November 10.
