First President of RA Levon Ter-Petrosyan has addressed letters to EU President Miguel Angel Moratinos and to EU High Representative of Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Catherine Ashton.

Yesterday, Levon Zurabyan, coordinator of the Armenian National Congress passed the letters on to the EU delegation. Following the meeting between the representatives of the Armenian National Congress and the EU delegation headed by President Spanish Foreign Minister Miguel Angel Moratinos, Mr. Moratinos expressed the wish to also speak with L. Ter-Petrosian. We were unable to get any details about the telephone conversation. According to the ANC report, at the meeting with the EU President, Levon Zurabyan discussed issues relating to democracy, the defense of human rights, political prisoners in Armenia, and presented the national struggle being waged in the country for the reestablishment of Constitutional order, underscoring the necessity of holding extraordinary Presidential and Parliamentary elections. Also presented were ANC’s perspectives on the NK Conflict and Armenian-Turkish relations.

At 11:00am today, the Court of Appeals is scheduled to begin deliberations of the appeal by Nikol Pashinyan’s attorneys, whereby the attorneys had requested that the court acquit the political prisoner.

We would like to remind our readers that Mnatsakan Martirosyan, the judge at the court of the first instance in Yerevan’s Kentron and Nork Marash communities, had sentenced Nikol Pashinyan to 7 years of imprisonment. Matso had declared the sentence charging Nikol Pashinyan under article 225.1 of the RA Criminal Code (organization of mass disorders). For the second charge against Nikol Pashinyan, under article 316.1 of the RA Criminal Code (violence against a public figure), Matso acquitted Nikol Pashinyan by his sentence.
