Justice ministers offers to pay allowance to newly released for two months
Amnesty is not the best institute, and now we are passing from punitive policy to restorative justice to gradually solve the issues, Armenian justice minister Artak Zeynalyan told the reporters today.
The government official also noted that they have come up with legislative initiative according to which, a person released from penitentiary will get allowance for two months to find job during that period of time and not be forced to commit crime.
He said they have no statistics on how many amnestied people have again committed crimes.
