YEREVAN, OCTOBER 26, ARMENPRESS: The trial of a group of alleged
mercenaries, that includes also six Armenian pilots, who are charged
with trying to overthrow the president of Equatorial Guinea, will
resume on November 16. A spokesman for Armenian foreign affairs
ministry, Hamlet Gasparian, told Armenpress that the trial was set
to resume late in October, but was again postponed due to technical
reasons. He said a former Armenian ambassador to Egypt Sergey
Manaserian and another government official are in Malabo now, the
capital of Equatorial Guinea, seeking a meeting with Armenian pilots
and the officials of the country.
Armenian pilots denied their involvement in the alleged plot.
