Armenian Justice Minister Hrayr Tovmasian told reporters on Thursday
that the amnesty would refer to 1,200-1,300 inmates: approximately
500-600 of them would be released from prison and the rest would have
their prison terms cut. The amnesty will be completely implemented

independence. There were two amnesties in 1995 and one in each of
the years 1997, 1998, 2001, 2006, 2009 and 2011.
