Vicken Euljekjian`s lawyer expects amnesty for her client amid  Aliyev`s announcement of his willingness to pardon 20,000 people

ArmInfo.  Luciana Minasyan, lawyer for Lebanese- Armenian Vicken Euljekjian, believes that Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev's announcement of his willingness to pardon 20,000 people in connection with the  declaration of 2025 as the Year of Constitution and Sovereignty,  meets her expectations.

As the lawyer explained on her Facebook page,  the expectation that Euljekjian might be pardoned stems from the fact  that earlier, on August 1, Vicken's wife, Linda Euljekjian, sent a  letter to the wife of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, Vice  President Mehriban Aliyeva, requesting a pardon and the release of  her husband. In response to Aliyev's statement, Minasyan decided to  reiterate the contents of the letter.

In the letter, Euljekjian's wife, according to the lawyer, told that  while her husband was behind bars, his mother  passed away. Her  husband was denied the right to bury and honor his mother's memory.  Linda Euljekjian then said that her own mother is currently facing  the final stages of a brutal illness - cancer. She added that her  husband longs not  for freedom alone, but also for the opportunity to  fulfill his duty. After all, as Euljekjian's wife emphasized, if her  mother died, their family would be left completely alone.

Therefore, she called for her husband to be pardoned. "A pardon for  my husband would be an act of  quiet greatness- one remembered not as  concession, but as compassion," Euljekjian's wife noted.
