Government declares amnesty with love, aims at reconciliation of public: acting minister

Acting justice minister Artak Zeynalyan speaking at the NA today claimed that to be declared amnesty is extensive.

“We have a state document of previous amnesties in 2009, 2011, 2013 and 2018 and neither of them may be compared with the volume of amnesty to be declared now. This is the most involving, extensive and documented amnesty,” Zeynalyan stated.

He said the impression as if the Justice Ministry may interfere into the formation of judicial act by the courts is wrong.

“We do not have judicial knowledge and should not have it, thus we should not interfere into the formation and implementation of judicial acts. If we are not a court, we cannot be unbiased, thus this amnesty may be viewed under the light of humanitarian act,” the acting minister said.

“The government declares amnesty with great love, aimed at reconciling the public,” Zeynalyan said.
