Leader of the People’s Party Tigran Karapetyan considers that the
document on amnesty submitted to the National Assembly is belated.
Therefore, the amnesty will not solve political issues and will not
have the importance it would have in April. Tigran Karapetyan reminds
that this is the 8th general pardon in the history of independent
Armenia.
Leader of the People’s Party believes that the amnesty will not apply
to all persons detained after the events of March 1. According to his
calculation, only 10-15 of them will be set free. "However, the pardon
is a positive phenomenon for me as a citizen, but it’s unacceptable if
it fails to result in stability and concord," Tigran Karapetyan said.
As for the Armenian National Congress, Tigran Karapetyan considers that
its hour of triumph is behind. "It does not exist as a pan-national
movement any linger," leader of the People’s Party said and added
that the Congress was just one of the elements on the political filed.
