Letter sent to Nikola Sarkozy
Members of the Union of Young Conservatives today gathered in front of the French Embassy of Armenia.
In their letter addressed to France's President Nikola Sarkozy they voiced concern over the arrest of French Armenian Sargis Hatspanyan and sounded surprised at France's indifference towards the arrest.
The presentees stated that Hatspanyan's arrest was politically motivated.
Let's remind that a Yerevan court has sentenced Sargis Hatspanyan to 3.5 years' imprisonment for false denunciation. Some documents certifying that Hatspanyan was a Karabakh war veteran were to be submitted for defendant Hatspanyan to be freed under the amnesty bill. But the amnesty wasn't applied to Sargis Hatspanyan as the aforesaid documents were missing.
The Union urges the French side for definite actions, announcements and interference in the case hearing.
The Embassy promised to forward the letter to President Sarkozy after it was translated.
