Vardan Sedrakian’s lawyer intends to appeal court decision
The lawyer of Vardan Sedrakian – a former presidential candidate who got 14 years in prison for the attempted murder of Paruyr Hayrikian, his opponent in the 2013 presidential election – declared today that he intends to appeal the court decision.
“We want to appeal to all the courts of our legal system before appealing to the European Court of Human Rights,” lawyer Alexander Sirunian said.
In his words, Vardan Sedrakian’s guilt was not proved. The fact of firing at Paryur Hayrikian was not proved either.
We would remind you that today the court of general jurisdiction of Yerevan’s Kentron and Nork-Marash administrative districts sentenced ex-presidential candidate Vardan Sedrakian to 14 years in prison for the attempted murder of Paruyr Hayrikian, his opponent in the presidential elections.
