This information was provided to Noyan Tapan by Lana Mshetsian, the Spokesperson of the RA Ministry of Justice. The Court of First Instance of the Syunik region had found M. Haroutiunian guilty, irrespective of the fact that it was testified that the defendant had been submitted to torture by the police collaborators, however, in the formulation of the Court, that was driven from the interests of justice. As regards the case of Misha Haroutiunian, the European Court had decided that his right for a fair trial had been infringed. The Court had also decided that Misha Haroutiunian should be paid 3000 euros by the RA government as an indemnity.
