What is the guarantee of amnesty?
Amnesty is not victory because there is no guarantee that people will not be sentenced to prison for their political views again," said "Heritage" party MP Zaruhi Postanjyan during a debate with Republican MP Karine Atchemyan at "Hayeli" Press Club today.
"They just had to do something because the situation may get out of hand," said Zaruhi Postanjyan.
In response, Mrs. Atchemyan said there were no political prisoners in Armenia and that amnesty was not for them.
"This amnesty is within the framework of the logic of our political leader's policy and it is for a healthy society," said Karine Atchemyan.
Both MPs had trouble saying whether Sasun Mikayelyan and Nikol Pashinyan would be present at the ANC's rally on May 31.
"I hope they will be, but it is still in question because even the justice minister didn't announce any names yesterday," said Karine Atchemyan.
"Prison doors should open tomorrow morning," said Zaruhi Postanjyan.
As for Zaruhi Postanjyan's brother Tigran, who is charged with receiving illegal payment, Postanjyan says he should be released by the law.
