New building of Armavir penal institution put into operation
Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan attended today the opening of ‘Amavir’ penal institution’s new buikding. Armenian Justice Minister Hovhannes Manukyan and U.S. Ambassador to Armenia John Heffern were also present at the opening ceremony.
The new building is in line with international standards. Around 400 inmates from other penal institutions will be transferred here in the near future. A housing complex for 800 inmates along with a hospital is expected to be put into use by late 2015.
