Editor-in-chief of the newspaper `Zhamanak Yerevan'
Arman Babajanyan who is sentenced to four years
imprisonment, applied to the special committee with
the RA Defense Minister at the head asking to stop
prosecution against him.
According to the law adopted in 2003, all those
citizens who are over 27 years old and have once
escaped from military service, can pay a certain sum
to the committee and avoid imprisonment. According to
the advocates of Arman Babajanyan, the law is
applicable in his case too. But it turned out that it
is not.
`We have a written conclusion which says that the
Committee cannot investigate those cases about which
there is a court decision. This is clear as the
committee cannot be higher than the court', Serge
Sargsyan said. He claimed that the committee has never
discussed a case where a court decision has been made.
`The committee discusses only the cases of those
citizens who have volunteered to represent them'.
Arman Babajanyan was sentenced to four years
imprisonment for document forgery and for escaping
military service.
