I worked as “Kamaz” truck driver for a month, after which an accident took place. During work time the brakes of the truck did not work and when I noticed it, I tried to upturn the truck not to harm anyone. However, at that time a bus full of passengers appeared in front of me. 18 people died and 60 gained injures as a result. I was sentenced to 6 years and 9 months imprisonment in the Russian Federation. 20.07.2017 I was transferred to the Republic of Armenia due to you. I am a volunteer of Artsakh War, I have participated in Nagorno-Karabakh War. Pursuant to Order N. 586 of December 20, 1996 by the Minister of Defense of the Republic of Armenia, I have been awarded with the “Participant to Military Operations 1992-1994” pin. I had left for Russia with the objective of building my son’s gravestone. Now I apply to you with the request of granting me a remission with the expectation of managing my life in the future.”
