“THEY LACK COMPELLING EVIDENCE”

Politics

Lusine Sahakian, Advocate of ex Deputy Prosecutor General Gagik Jhangirian, doesn't know yet when Jhangirian's case will be brought to court. She is confident that the case is not forwarded to court because of the lack of evidence.

“I think the case should be dismissed as they do not have circumstantial evidence,” says Mrs. Sahakian.

Lusine Sahakian thinks Gagik Jhangirian is persecuted for his political views. “It was obvious that he would be punished after his speech. The article didn't matter in his case.”

Asked whether the decision was made before instituting a suit against Jhangirian, Sahakian said: “Surely.”

“At first Jhangirian was charged with bearing of illegal armament and violence against a government official /Article 316/. Then Article 300 was added /attempt of power usurpation/,” Luisne Sahakian said with regard to the delay of the case.
