I think that all reasonable people have understood the
\nessence of Armen Ahsotyan’s case and there is nothing to add on this account.
\nRPA Vice President’s advocate Tigran Atanesyan made a Facebook post on this.

“It is obvious that the legal authorities obey the
\norders issued by the political authorities, thereby distorting the true essence
\nof legal science and breaking every legal and moral norm. Having the full
\nrealization of what they are up to, the legal authorities have always sought to
\nensure themselves against the possible unwelcome developments in the future.
<\/p><\/p>\n
However, this does not hold true for Armen Ashotyan’s case.
\nI cannot say what the reason for this is. However, such mistakes are made,
\nwhich in turn, provide a basis for Armen Ashotyan’s immediate release.
<\/p><\/p>\n
Armen is charged with three Articles of the former Criminal
\nCode. One of them is Part 3 of Article 179, providing for five to eight years’
\nimprisonment. This Article corresponds to Part 3 of Article 256 of the current
\nCriminal Code, which provides for four to eight years’ imprisonment. The
\ndifference seems to be subtle, not taking into account the fact that every
\nsingle moment spent in the penitentiary is an ordeal. Anyway, as the new
\nArticle provides for a more lenient sentence, neither under the Constitution,
\nnor the current Criminal code, Armen could be charged with Part 3 of Article
\n179. And in case he is charged with that very Article, this is an unlawful act.
\nBy and large, if we consider that the law is made for man, Armen Ashotyan is
\nnot a defendant, and no measure of restraint can be imposed on him.

\ncircumstance, namely the political motives of the prosecution, the fact that
\nthere is no corpus delicti, Armen Ashotyan is not a defendant even in this
\ncase. Thus, no measure of restraint can be imposed on him. And the RA
\nProsecutor General is obliged to release him immediately. Surely, she will not
\ndo that. But all of this gives grounds for bringing criminal prosecution
\nagainst the Prosecutor General when times change,” Atanesyan wrote. <\/span><\/p>\n
