/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Today, at 1.00 p.m., just in front of the French
Embassy in Armenia a rally of the Young Conservatives Union of
Armenia was held in defense of the French citizen Sargis Hatspanian,
suffering from political persecution in Armenia. After the rally the
participants sent a letter to the French President Nicolas Sarkozy.
In the letter the Union of Young Conservatives say that Mr. Hatspanian
made a worthy contribution to strengthening the independence and
development of democracy in Armenia. The letter reads: "Appreciating
mediation efforts of your country aimed at strengthening democracy in
Armenia, including those in the issue of general amnesty for political
prisoners, we express our indignation for indifference of the France
towards Sargis Hatspanian, who is persecuted on political grounds."
Union of Young Conservatives of Armenia declares that nonintervention
of the President Sarkozy in the issue of release of Sargis Hatspanian
will be further considered as a manifestation of the apparent support
of "illegitimate government" of Armenia, which could tarnish the good
name of France in the eyes of the Armenian youth, a press release of
Young Conservatives Union writes.
