Edvin Hefikyan, a citizen of Iran now living in Armenia, was sentenced to twelve years imprisonment on January 13 for smuggling large amounts of heroin into Armenia with the intent to sell the same overseas.
During my digging around in the Central Court Archive, and after reviewing various military court cases, I come away with the conclusion that rank and file soldiers are meted out the maximum sentences allowed by law for serious offences while their officers are treated much less severely – walking away with one or two years at most.
