Amnesty to be declared in Armenia: Minister
As it was reported earlier the cabinet discussed at a closed regime the issue on declaring amnesty. Later in the evening Minister of Justice Artak Zeynalyan wrote in his Facebook page that soon an amnesty will be declared.
“Though we do not have an issue of overloaded penitentiaries, the government headed by the Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, decided to undertake an exclusive step and approve the bill on declaring amnesty,” he wrote, adding that the NA is yet to approve it with the majority of votes.
The amnesty is being declared on the occasion of 2800th anniversary of Yerevan’s establishment and 100th anniversary of First Republic of Armenia.
