On January 11, the Union of Young Conservatives (UYC) applied to
French Ambassador to Armenia Serge Smessow and requested him to take
steps for Sargis Hatspanyan to be grated the right to give the last
honors to his relative.
The UYC informed the French Ambassador that "the father of the
political prisoner Sargis Hatspanyan is dying." The UYC expects that
in this case the "Ambassador will do his best for the right to give
the last honors to deceased parents to be granted to him as well."
"Let us hope that, for this sake, the RA authorities cannot refuse the
humanitarian request of our people’s ally, France," the letter says.
Sargis Hatspanyan was sentenced to three years and six months of
imprisonment for false denunciation. Last October, in his interview
with the Haykakan Zhamanak (Armenian Times) newspaper he said that
the ex-president Robert Kocharyan and his supporters were plotting
the incumbent President Serge Sargsyan’s assassination.
