With the amnesty Armenia will make another step towards a Christian
state, leader of the National Self-Determination Union Paruyr Hayrikyan
told a press conference today. However, according to him, the Armenian
national today needs reciprocal pardon, since the unilateral amnesty
is not enough to mitigate the consequences of the riots in Yerevan
on March 1, 2008.
According to Paruyr Hayrikyan, the fact that the amnesty will not
apply to 17 out of 51 persons jailed after March 1 will mitigate the
tension among the Armenian society only partially. Mr. Hayrikyan
realizes, however, that the amnesty could not apply to everyone,
especially those who have committed heavy crimes.
