    AVETISSIAN SENTENCED TO SIX MONTHS IMPRISONMENT

    A1+
    16 July, 2008

    Aslan Avetissian, resident of Ararat region, member of the Yerkrapah
    Volunteer Union (YKM) and Levon Ter-Petrossian's proxy, was sentenced
    to a six months' imprisonment on July 16. The verdict was brought in
    by Court of General Jurisdiction of Kentron and Nork-Marash districts
    after a four hours' consultation.

    Aslan Avetissian was charged with calls for mass disorders and threats
    against policemen /Article 225 of the RoA CC/.

    Note, Prosecutor Hovsep Sarkissian had requested to sentence Avetissian
    to a 1, 6-year imprisonment. Avetissian didn't plead guilty of
    the crime.

    Advocate Liparit Simonian finds the verdict unfair. He is going to
    appeal the verdict in a higher instance. Simonian says courts are
    not independent in Armenian.
