Amensty for Sukiasyan and Pashinyan too
During today's session, the NA ad hoc committee leading the investigation into the events of March 1 decided to appeal to Serzh Sargsyan for declaring amnesty.
During the session, ARF MP Artsvik Minasyan presented the four-point political document compiled by him and Prosperous Armenia MP Naira Zohrabyan, which has turned into the topic of the committee's discussion.
It is proposed that there is a need to apply amnesty for those deprived of their liberty on March 1.
According to the document, amnesty should also be declared for those charged with the "Case of Seven", NA Deputy Khachatur Sukiasyan and editor-in-chief of "Haykakan Zhamanak" Nikol Pashinyan.
"We also refer to the PACE Resolutions which called on the Armenian authorities to apply all possible legal mechanisms and the need for political solutions in separate cases, including amnesty," said Artsvik Minasyan.
The document proposed not declaring amnesty for murderers. The committee members were interested in knowing whom Minasyan referred to and he replied that there may be people guilty of murders before the preliminary inquiry. Participants of the session made proposals regarding the document, yet leader of the "New Times" party Aram Karapetyan did not approve it.
