Haykakan Zhamanak: Many in Armenian law enforcement system against amnesty
Citing sources close to the government, Haykakan Zhamanak writes that many in Armenia’s law enforcement system are against the decision of declaring amnesty in the country on the occasion of the Armenian Genocide centenary.
After the previous amnesty, the criminogenic situation worsened significantly in Armenia and many people released from jail were arrested again some time later, the newspaper notes.
Some experts say that under the current complicated economic situation, the chances of adaptation of the released individuals have reduced considerably, and under these conditions, amnesty could seriously aggravate the criminogenic situation in the country, the newspaper adds.
