Archbishop Mikayel Ajapahyan, Primate of the Diocese of Shirak has been sentenced to two years in prison.<\/p>\n
At the previous hearing, the prosecutor requested a 2.5-year sentence for the archbishop.<\/p>\n
A few days ago, the court had already found Ajapahyan guilty, leaving the preventive measure unchanged.<\/p>\n
“Don’t think about that, everything will be fine,” Ajapahyan commented on the court’s ruling.<\/p>\n
“We saw what gross violations the judge committed to reach this outcome. We predicted that the court would issue a decision to keep Archbishop Mikayel Ajapahyan behind bars until the elections. This is more than obvious,” lawyer Ara Zohrabyan said after the session.<\/p>\n
The defense insists that Ajapahyan’s case has a political undertone.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
