Yerevan, 26 November: A court in Equatorial Guinea has sentenced
Armenian pilots to prison terms ranging from 14 to 24 years.
It must be remembered that on 8 March of this year, the authorities
in Equatorial Guinea arrested a large group of people, which among
other foreigners, included six Armenian pilots. The Armenian pilots
were charged with complicity in the organization of a coup d'etat in
that country and are now facing imprisonment for up to 26 years. The
Armenian pilots are flatly denying the accusations.
The prosecutor had reportedly demanded that the Armenian citizens be
sentenced to 26 years' imprisonment.
