Armenian Court Sentences Vardan Petrosyan to Five Years

Armenia’s Kotayk Provincial Court today sentenced performance artist Vardan Petrosyan to five years imprisonment on manslaughter charges for his involvement in an October 2013 deadly road accident in which two sixteen year old boys were killed and four others were injured. 

The state prosecutor had demanded a sentence of six and a half years.

The court also stripped Petrosyan of his right to drive for two years.

Petrosyan claimed his innocence during the trial, arguing that he did not violate any traffic laws and that the other car backed into the roadway, leaving him no chance to swerve away.

what a shame...what a disappointing verdict.. poor Armenia, today the rats in power devouring the innocents. Shame on you president of Armenia to allow this happen, shame on courts with their miserable judges and illiterate prosecutors with twisted justice. Go ahead humbugs, finish up what's left, destroy the very few intelligent people who breath and ache for Armenia. Had Vardan Petrosyan not loved Armenia this much and remained in France, he would've been a free man. Shame...

Shame on the court for this unfair decision. The people and the government needs to be involved when there's unjust decision. This was an accident and Petrosyan should be set free. For once prove to people in diaspora that there's justice in Armenia so if there's anyone that cares for their homelands does not build hate and disrespect. Do the right thing set the innocent man free
