Zhoghovurd: Work on draft amnesty decree still continues
The rumors about an amnesty to be declared on the occasion of Armenia’s Independence Day have not been officially confirmed yet, but they were not refuted either, ‘Zhoghovurd’ says.
“On August 29 our paper reported that President Serzh Sargsyan was planning to declare a large-scale amnesty. It was expected that in connection with an amnesty, Serzh Sargsyan will apply to the National Assembly during the upcoming four-day sittings of the parliament. Yet according to our sources in the parliament, no proposal for an amnesty has been submitted,” the paper notes, adding that its sources in the presidential residence say that the document is not ready yet and work on it still continues.
