YEREVAN, June 14. /ARKA/. The pardon for people fined for administrative offices will apply to all, regardless of their citizenship or nationality, Armenian Justice Minister Artak Zeynalyan said Wednesday answering the question MP Shirak Torosyan, head of Javakhk Union, put to him at a Q&A session in the National Assembly.

Torosyan said it would be just to include also residents of Georgia’s province of Javakhk who had been fined after crossing border on Bavra border checkpoint.

“The law on amnesty for a number of administrative fines will be sent to the National Assembly soon,” Zeynalyan said. “It is at the stage of public discussions now. It will apply to all administrative offenders.”
