By the June 22 judgement of Yerevan Kentron and Nork-Marash communities general jurisdiction court, former RA Foreign Minister Alexander Arzumanian and Suren Sirunian were sentenced to 5 and 4 years' imprisonment, respectively. However, by the use of the RA NA June 19 decision on granting an amnesty they got free of serving their punishment and were released at the court hall. At the same time the court found them guilty of the charge brought to them, organization of mass disorders (part 1, Article 225, RA Criminal Code).
The judgement can be appealed at the Criminal Appeal Court in a month's term. After being released, at short press briefings with journalists at the court hall A. Arzumanian and S. Sirunian stated that they will appeal against the judgement without fail. S. Sirunian also said: "We were against the amnesty, we had committed no crime, for which they were to forgive us."

NA deputy Hakob Hakobian sentenced to 5 years' imprisonment by the judgement got free of serving his punishment by being found guilty on part 1, Article 225, RA Criminal Code. NA deputy Myasnik Malkhasian was sentenced to 5 years' imprisonment on the charge of organizing mass disorders and by part 2, Article 38-316 of assisting use of violence to a power representative dangerous for his life and health, was acquitted and and got free of serving punishment.
