Former advisor to Armenia's second President Robert Kocharyan, colonel general Gurgen Dalibaltayan and major general Arkady Ter-Tadevosyan (Commandos) sent an open letter to RA President Serzh Sargsyan to request him for release of Artsakh war hero Sasun Mikaelyan.

"Irrespectively of the reasons of imprisonment, the matter concerns the health of the person who made a huge contribution to the struggle for independence of Artsakh," the two military said in the letter.

Sasun Mikaelyan was sentenced on the March 1 case on the charges of organization of disorders and illegal possession of weapons.
