Haykakan Zhamanak: Amnesty may aggravate criminogenic situation
‘Haykakan Zhamanak’ daily writes citing sources that many Armenian law enforcers are against an amnesty in connection with the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide.
“The criminogenic situation in Armenia considerably worsened after the last amnesty, and released prisoners were convicted again only a month later. Some experts say that in the current hard economic situation, the opportunities for adaptation of those granted an amnesty have declined so the amnesty may aggravate the criminogenic situation,” the paper says.
