YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 6, NOYAN TAPAN. The administrative commission of the "Vardashen" penitentiary office has passed a resolution on not submitting the question of the conditional parole of Vardan Malkhasian, a member of the political board of the Homeland and Honor party, to the consideration of the interdepartmental commission. According to the information provided to a Noyan Tapan correspondent by Mushegh Shushanian, the lawyer of Vardan Malkhasian, on November 5, according to the commission of the penitentiary office, this decision is reasoned by the fact that the person of Vardan Malkhasian "is not sufficiently studied." It should be mentioned that Vardan Malkhasian was recognized guilty of making calls for seizing the state power by acts of violence. The above-mentioned commission has not at all discussed the question of the conditional parole of Jirayr Sefilian, the coordinator of the civil initiative "In defense of Liberated Territories", who was recognized guilty of keeping illegal weapon, for the purpose of the penalty incurred upon him in the penitentiary office. The penalty will be paid off six months later.
