Georgia's President Mikheil Saakashvili said he has personally advised
Georgia's PM Bidzina Ivanishvili to keep Javakhk-Armenian activist
Vahagn Chakhalyan in jail.
Chakhalyan has been released after the law on Amnesty entered into
effect in Georgia and spread on 18 thousand prisoners. The ethnic
Armenian activist was arrested in 2009 and sentenced to 10 years in
prison for violating public order, possessing weapon.
"We have talked about amnesty with government representatives. We have
convinced that Chakhalyan and Skrilnikov (Yuri Skrilnikov sentenced
to 15 years in jail for spying in favor of Russia) should not be
released. The amnesty is a problem. They say they will take them
back to prison if they notice anything, but they will not do it,"
Georgia's president said during the meeting with students.
The Georgian president also claimed that the majority of the released
are Russian agents. Saakashvili said the new government has released
dangerous criminals.
