/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenia’s National Assembly Speaker Hovik Abrahamyan
has negatively assessed Republican Party parliamentarians’ recent
petition asking President to grant amnesty to Sasun Mikaelyan.

A Republican group representative should not undersign a document
addressed to the party’s chairperson who is also the President
of the country, he told today a resulting news conference. "RPA
parliamentarians can meet President Serzh Sargsyan at least once
per month. So if they had requests for Sasun Mikaleyan’s release,
they might have raised the issue during meetings," Armenian Speaker
said, adding that Sasun Mikaelyan himself should petition President
for amnesty.
