    ELEVEN NKR MP'S CALL FOR RELEASE OF SARKIS HATSPANIAN

    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.
