    YEREVAN. - Armenia's former Police Criminal Investigation Department
    Chief, Police Major General Hovhannes Tamamyan, who was sentenced to
    four years in prison on charges of misusing official power, could be
    released soon, Haykakan Zhamanak daily writes.

    "It is assumed that he will be released by way of being granted pardon
    by [President] Serzh Sargsyan.

    To our correspondent's query regarding this prospect, Tamamyan's
    attorney Vaghinak Gevorgyan responded that he is not authorized to
    answer questions referring to the petition for a pardon.

    [Yet] According to our information, Tamamyan's petition for a pardon
    is at the Presidential Palace for already more than a week and Serzh
    Sargsyan is expected to sign the respective decree soon, and he
    [Tamamyan] will be released.

    But the public will not be informed of this, since the decrees on
    [granting] pardon are not publicized," Haykakan Zhamanak writes.
