/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenia’s Ombudsman Armen Harutyunyan estimates
parliamentarians’ recent letter requesting presidential pardon for
Sasun Mikaelyan as provocation.

"There are relevant procedures the MPs could resort to," he told a
news conference on Friday. "Armenian legislators should have been
aware of those procedures and mechanisms. In legal context, such
letter could not have resulted in pardon or release."
