The Haykakan Zhamanak writes: “HZh has learned that some arts
personalities are considering to address Serzh Sargsyan with a request
to pardon the famous actor Vardan Petrosyan sentenced to 5 years.
After the sentence had been pronounced, one of his advocates Nikolay
Baghdasaryan announced that considering that the crime was committed
by negligence, if he is sentenced to five years, he will be amnestied.
Inmates of different penitentiaries are also expecting Serzh Sargsyan
to announce an amnesty on the centenary of the genocide.
However, at the higher levels of the government they claim that
there are no such preparations now, and nothing like this is expected
until April 24. Hence, the arts personalities who will be probably
joined by some famous public personalities are discussing the option
of holding out a request to Serzh Sargsyan. The higher levels of the
government are speaking that soon Serzh Sargsyan will, most probably,
pardon some other people as well.”
