Haykakan Zhamanak: Parliament to adopt amnesty decision today
Discussions of the amnesty proposal will continue today. In all likelihood, today National Assembly deputies will take a decision by voting, ‘Haykakan Zhamanak’ writes.
Under Article 90 clause 7 of the NA Rules of Procedure, the speaker of the National Assembly signs the parliamentary decision on an amnesty and publishes it within 24 hours. So within 24 hours after its publication, the decision takes affect. In other words, all convicts to whom the amnesty applies will be released. The process of releasing convicts will continue until December 31, 2013.
