Yerevan, 23 June: David Shahnazaryan of the Armenian National Congress
(ANC) said in Yerevan today that the opposition will not carry out
dialogue with the authorities "as long as a single political prisoner
remains in prison".
Speaking at a news conference in Yerevan, he noted that "according
to our calculations, about 20 political prisoners remain in jails who
were not covered by the amnesty," Mediamax reports. In the meantime,
Shahnazaryan said that the amnesty was a "great success" for the
opposition.
Shahnazaryan said that the ANC intends to strive for the release of
the remaining "political prisoners" with both political and legal
methods, in particular, the opposition will stage a rally in Yerevan
in early July.
