Aravot: Why did it take three years to release political prisoners?
10:36 - 26.05.11
The paper's editor writes that back in mid March of 2008 -Serzh
Sargsyan was not yet sworn in as president - he said during a TV show
that Sargsyan's first step as president should be to release the
political prisoners.
"What should have been done three years ago, took three years to
complete," the editor says.
Why did it take so long, and why it did happen, anyway?
"The answer to the second question is somewhat clear: inside and
outside pressures, as well as the fact that Sargsyan is led by
pragmatic calculations instead of vengeance emotions have contributed
to that decision," he goes on commenting. "But I don't have an answer
for the second question. The only explanation might be that Sargsyan
was trying to first strengthen his positions against the oligarchs and
bureaucrats to succeed in the reforms he had in mind."
