"There are institutions for amnesty, I don’t think it’s correct to
undertake such a step. Let them show us how the president will grant
an amnesty without breaching the law", – the RA Human Rights Defender
Armen Harutyunyan said today.
Some RA NA Members of Parliament have applied to President Serzh
Sargsyan, "regardless the reasons of Mikayelyan’s arrest to grant
an amnesty to Sasun Miqayelyan according to the 55th article of the
RA Constitution."
The RA HRD called that step a provocation "There are some steps that
serve a PR for you, but in reality it makes no good."
A. Harytyunyan touched also upon the statements of the representatives
of the PACE Monitoring Committee George Kolumbie and John Preskot
concerning the March 1 events and said that he doesn’t understand
why they make all this noise.
"Actually we too have spoken about the positive and the negative
of that issue. There is mentioned that the stress is mainly on the
opposition, we have spoken about it too, there is no question that
is positive, we have spoken about it already, and about the negative
we have kept silence. It corresponds to our opinions with 90%", –
Harutyunyan added.
