According to the member of the Armenian National Congress, Hovhannes
Igityan, the amnesty is the trouble of the government and it should
decide by itself how to come out of that trouble, as the amnesty means
to forgive those responsible. But, it is found out that those people
are political prisoners and are arrested for their political stances,
who are not responsible for anything. "The court hearing process shows
that all the accusations, which are based on the testimonies of the
witnesses, are being destroyed. The witnesses state that the police
officials used repression against them". He added that in normal
countries the judge has to find out who is the police official,
who represses the witnesses.
Hovhannes Igityan thinks that the hurry of the government to declare
an amnesty is determined by the PACE session on June 23, where the
question on the democratic institutions in Armenia will be discussed
and the government wants to show as if it is negotiating with the
people, in order to prevent possible sanction.
