Intellectuals urge to release Sasun Mikaelian
Maestro Ohan Durian, actress Varduhy Varderesian, singer Araks Davtian and actor Erwand Manarian have issued a statement today demanding an urgent release of Armenian former parliamentarian Sasun Mikaelian.
"We voice our concern over the deteriorating health of Sasun Mikaelian, an Artsakh war veteran and commander of "Sasun" detachment. You cannot chase a person with heroic background for his political stance and harass him in custody. The inhuman behaviour against a Karabakh war hero cannot be justified. What lessons do you give to future generations with this inhuman step? It is well know that Sasun Mikaelian ruined his health in the Karabakh war and has numerous splinters in his body. How can you be so indifferent to his ill-health?
We urge Serzh Sargsyan to immediately release Sasun Mikaelian and give him an opportunity to recover in normal human conditions."
