Justice minister: There are no political prisoners in Armenia
There are no political prisoners in Armenia, Armenian Justice Minister Hovhannes Manukyan said during a Facebook press conference organized by Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty.
“There are no political prisoners in Armenia. We live in a society where there is freedom of speech and everyone has the right to express an opinion. Reports of foreign states and observation groups did not indicate the existence of political prisoners in Armenia in recent years”, the minister said.
According to him, opinions of other countries are not the ultimate truth, but it is an accepted form of assessment in present-day world.
