Will everybody be granted amnesty?

09/06/2009

“I think that the articles that are imposed against them are pretty stern. And I don’t think that amnesty will be granted to the ones, who were sentenced to 7-10 years of imprisonment,” several days ago said NA MP Davit Harutyunyan when answering the question whether amnesty will be granted to NA MP Khachatur Sukiasyan and chief editor of the Haykakan Zhamanak Nicol Pashinyan. “For instance, they say that amnesty will be granted to the ones sentenced within the frames of Article 225 and that the amnesty should be applied to the ones sentenced to 3 years of imprisonment and 5 years of imprisonment if those are war heroes. If amnesty is granted in these conditions then it won’t be spread on Sukiasyan. We should wait for the amnesty. Without that no one can say anything,” yesterday told our reporter the chairman of the Advocates Union of Armenia Ruben Sahakyan.
