At a press conference today, RoA Chief Prosecutor Aghvan Hovsepyan
said that an amnesty for convicted Haykakan Zhamanak Editor Nikol
Pashinyan would be granted only after the case had gone through the
entire appeals process and a final verdict had been reached.

"When we have a final verdict and sentence, only then will an amnesty
be granted. If it isn’t granted than the Prosecutor’s Office will
dispute the matter," promised Mr. Hovsepyan. The Chief Prosecutor
pointed out that an amnesty could only be granted regarding that
section of the sentence not served by the guilty party and that
the case needed to go to the two remaining courts, the Appeals and
Cassation Courts, for a final sentence to be reached.
