At a press conference today, RoA Chief Prosecutor Aghvan Hovsepyan said that an amnesty for convicted Haykakan Zhamanak Editor Nikol Pashinyan would be granted only after the case had gone through the entire appeals process and a final verdict had been reached. "When we have a final verdict and sentence, only then will an amnesty be granted. If it isn’t granted than the Prosecutor’s Office will dispute the matter," promised Mr. Hovsepyan. The Chief Prosecutor pointed out that an amnesty could only be granted regarding that section of the sentence not served by the guilty party and that the case needed to go to the two remaining courts, the Appeals and Cassation Courts, for a final sentence to be reached.
