Politics

Minutes ago the RA Criminal Court of Appeal denied Former Deputy Prosecutor General Gagik Jhangirian’s claim, keeping on the April 18 resolution of Kentron and Nork-Marash General Jurisdiction Court.

The General Jurisdiction Court had prolonged Gagik Jhangirian’s preliminary term of detention till June 24.

The verdict was announced by the Criminal Court of Appeal in a closed session, with dozens of citizens waiting in front of the court building.

The picket participants raised Gagik Jhangirian’s photos above their heads shouting: “Liberty to Gagik”, “Gagik, we are on your side”. They did not yield to the policemen’s orders to keep back from the court building. “We can stand wherever we like”, opposed the women.

“They detained Gagik Jhangirian when he began speaking of October 27 events. It was not evidently in the interests of the authorities”, assured Ms. Aida, who claimed that she knew Jhangirian quite well.

“He has always been with his people”, proclaimed the participants and noticing that they are being photographed, added: “Over 1 million advocates are on Levon Ter-Petrossian’s side. You can’t arrest all of them anyway”
