Will the NA grant an amnesty?
Spokeswoman for the National Assembly's Speaker commented on NA Speaker Hovik Abrahamian's statement regarding amnesty granting.
"The Speaker of the national Assembly, Hovik Abrahamian simply did not rule out the possibility of a general amnesty, expressing his good wish. Under the constitution of the Republic of Armenia, it is the president of the republic who is authorized to make such a proposal, only after it, the National Assembly can grant an amnesty ," said Mr. Petrosian.
Remind that Parliament speaker Hovik Abrahamian announced that President Serzh Sarkisian will declare next week a general amnesty for opposition members arrested following last year's Armenian presidential election.
