Members of the Union of Young Conservatives today gathered in front of
the French Embassy of Armenia.
In their letter addressed to France’s President Nikola Sarkozy they
voiced concern over the arrest of French Armenian Sargis Hatspanyan
and sounded surprised at France’s indifference towards the arrest.
The presentees stated that Hatspanyan’s arrest was politically
motivated.
Let’s remind that a Yerevan court has sentenced Sargis Hatspanyan to
3.5 years’ imprisonment for false denunciation. Some documents
certifying that Hatspanyan was a Karabakh war veteran were to be
submitted for defendant Hatspanyan to be freed under the amnesty
bill. But the amnesty wasn’t applied to Sargis Hatspanyan as the
aforesaid documents were missing.
The Union urges the French side for definite actions, announcements
and interference in the case hearing.
The Embassy promised to forward the letter to President Sarkozy after
it was translated.
