Court
Yesterday, the court of first instance of Malatsia-Sebastia borough
announced the verdict of Armenian citizen of Russian origin Andrey
Maziyev who was charged with spying for Azerbaijan. Judge Tigran
Petrosian read the verdict: the court considers proven all crimes
committed by Maziyev -- high treason in form of spying, support
in terrorizing Armenia's population and in an organization of
assassination of an Armenian political figure.
Several articles of the Armenian penal code foresaw a sentence up to
20 years but the judge mitigated it to 12 years without expropriation.
Chief prosecutor of Armenia, Aghvan Hovsepian, considered the verdict
well deserved and praised the National Security Service for their
actions to disclose the crime.
