February 24, the Armenian Prosecutor General Aghvan Hovsepyan
stated that the issues concerning whether amnesty is applicable
to the editor-in-chief of Haykakan Zhamanak daily Nikol Pashinyan
may be discussed only after the verdict of the court. According to
Hovsepyan, only the verdict of the court of first instance is present
in connection with Pashinyan’s case and there are other two courts to
issue their verdicts. He said that amnesty is a necessity of law and
if this question is not solved after the verdict, the prosecutor’s
office will bring it up itself.

The prosecutor general dwelt also on the arrest of the famous
enterpriser Saribek Sukiasyan. He said that the prosecutor’s offices
of Erebuni community and Yerevan are instructed to keep under their
control this investigation. He noted that the aim is to get all the
proofs in a legal way. Hovsepyan said the results of the investigation
will be presented to the public.
