HUSIK BAGHDASARIAN SENTENCED TO THREE YEARS’ IMPRISONMENT
Support A1+!Today the Court of Ararat and Vayots Dzor Marzes passed a sentence upon Husik Baghdasarian, a Karabakh war veteran, a Yerkrapah Volunteers’ Union member, Vazgen Sargsian’s companion-in-arms and former head of the Security Services at the RA Government.
The session was presided over by Justice Elena Kocharian who met deputy prosecutor Hamlet Hakobian’s solicitation to sentence Baghdasarian to a three-year imprisonment.
“This is a mere political chase, the authorities’ recurrent political order. Husik Baghdasarian is simply punished for supporting Levon Ter-Petrossian,” Armenian citizen Susanna Hasratian said to A1+ after the trial. She was holding a poster titled “Release Husik Baghdasarian.”
At the end of the trial A1+ asked Husik Baghdasarian to comment on the verdict. He only said that he views it as a political “requital.” “The Chief of Police of Masis, Gagik Badalian, and the head of the Investigation Department of Ararat squared their accounts with me in this way,” he said.
To note, the Karabakh war veteran was taken to the courtroom in handcuffs.
The verdict will be challenged at the Appellate Court.
