YEREVAN, JUNE 12, ARMENPRESS: A task force of justice ministry
officials set up at president Kocharian’s order to prepare an amnesty
that will be announced later this year in connection with the 15-th
anniversary of Armenia from the former Soviet Union, had a recurrent
meeting today chaired by minister David Harutunian.

The ministry said the meeting discussed the basic approaches towards
declaring amnesty for some categories of prison population. The task
force agreed to grant amnesty to those only who committed crimes
before June 1, 2006.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
