March 1 defendant acquitted
Armenia's Court of Cassation today acquitted Armen Sargsian facing a prison term in relation with last year's post election clashes in Yerevan City.
Defendant Armen Sargsian learnt about the court decision on the telephone in the Sevan Penitentiary Institution.
The verdict will be publicized in full within a month. Armen Sargsian's advocate Inessa Petrossian says today they will receive a docket and go to Sevan after Armen.
"The judgment is a real present from Armen who will celebrate his birthday on September 24," Armen's wife said to A1+.
Note that a Yerevan court had found Armen Sargsian guilty under Article 225 of the RA Criminal Code (participation in mass disturbances) and sentenced him to 4-years' imprisonment.
