“DECISION IS GROUNDLESS AND IMMORAL”

Politics

Sargis Hatspanian, a well-known figure in Armenia and beyond its boundaries, is a unique personality who fully devoted himself to the Karabakh Movement from the very beginning /1988/. Hatspanian is a Karabakh War veteran and hero. He rendered considerable assistance to Karabakh.

Both Robert Kocharian and Serzh Sargsyan are well aware of it. But they ignored the fact after Sargis Hatspanian had voiced support for the Pan-National Movement following the Presidential election. Sargis Hatspanian has been ruthlessly persecuted for his speeches at Azatutiun (Liberty) square ever since, after the March 1 carnage.

Two days ago the police blockaded Hatspanian’s house as soon as the latter returned home. They were strictly assigned to exile Hatspanian from Armenia.

Trying to conceal its crimes and misdeeds, the acting regime still resorts to threats and illegalities, especially against the opposition representatives. They keep dozens of political prisoners imprisoned and persecute the activists of Pan-National Movement.

The administration’s decision to exile Hatspanian is groundless and immoral and goes contrary to RoA laws. We condemn the decision and call on the authorities to stop persecution against the Artsakh war veteran.
