/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenian President’s public statement on possible
amnesty was an unprecedented step, since he can exercise his
constitutional right of independent decision making, said Hovhannes
Hovhannisyan, deputy chairman of RA Public Council.

"The President’s announcement was a topic of hot debates in the
council and we decided to call on President Sargsyan to submit the
issue to consideration of the National Assembly," he said.

Hovhannisyan also informed that according to a sociological survey,
84% of respondents spoke out for amnesty. 16% did not support the idea.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
