    SERGE SARGSYAN WILL NOT HELP ARMAN BABAJANYAN
    [06:08 pm] 10 November, 2006

    Editor-in-chief of the newspaper `Zhamanak Yerevan'
    Arman Babajanyan who is sentenced to four years
    imprisonment, applied to the special committee with
    the RA Defense Minister at the head asking to stop
    prosecution against him.

    According to the law adopted in 2003, all those
    citizens who are over 27 years old and have once
    escaped from military service, can pay a certain sum
    to the committee and avoid imprisonment. According to
    the advocates of Arman Babajanyan, the law is
    applicable in his case too. But it turned out that it
    is not.

    `We have a written conclusion which says that the
    Committee cannot investigate those cases about which
    there is a court decision. This is clear as the
    committee cannot be higher than the court', Serge
    Sargsyan said. He claimed that the committee has never
    discussed a case where a court decision has been made.
    `The committee discusses only the cases of those
    citizens who have volunteered to represent them'.

    Arman Babajanyan was sentenced to four years
    imprisonment for document forgery and for escaping
    military service.
