A public statement calling for the release of jailed French-Armenian
political activist and Karabakh war veteran Sarkis Hatspanian, signed
by 11 deputies of the NKR National Assembly, has been sent to the
RoA Ministry of Justice.
The 11 deputies make up one-third of the NKR legislative body. The
statement, signed by Artsakh war veterans, political figures
and intellectuals, demands that the general amnesty passed by
the Armenian parliament on July 19, 2009, also be extended to
Hatspanian who was sentenced to 3.5 years on a charge of "false
denunciation". Mr. Hatspanian has been jailed for the past nine months.
The statement points out that Mr. Hatspanian's 84 year-old father now
suffers from kidney cancer and is at death's door and urges Armenian
authorities to at least allow Sarkis the chance to see his ailing
father for the last time.
