    ARMAN BABAJANYAN'S VERDICT TO BE BROUGHT ON DECEMBER
    11
    [06:16 pm] 30 November, 2006

    `This is a mere criminal case and it mustn't be given
    political colouring', announced Janna Kodikyan in her
    speech in connection with the case of Arman
    Babajanyan, editor of `Jamanak Yerevan' newspaper in
    the RA Cassation Court on Criminal and Marshal Issues.


    She claims that Mr. Babajanyan is accused of
    embezzlement rather than of malfunction of his
    journalistic duties. The plaintiff claimed to send Mr.
    Babajanyan to 4, 6-year imprisonment.

    The defender submitted a few mediations but only one
    of them was fully endorsed; others were either
    rejected or endorsed partially. The mediation
    comprised references on Arman Babajanyan's
    personality.

    The defender asked the court for additional time. The
    court supported the mediation and cancelled the court
    sitting till December 11.

    Reminder; Arman Babajanyan was arrested on June 26. He
    is accused of avoiding obligatory military service,
    document forgery and embezzlement. Arman Babajanyan
    was sentenced to 4-year imprisonment under the
    decision of the Court of First Instance.

    By the way, the lawyers presented a packet sent from
    Los Angeles. The packet includes an announcement
    signed by 6000 U.S. citizens according to which Arman
    Babajanyan is accused of malfunction of his
    journalistic duties. `It sounds a bit clumsy and
    strange. Why should 6000 citizens sign in protection
    of Arman Babajanyan? Is he an important figure?'
    wondered Mrs. Kodikyan.
