Alik Eroyants, an expert in Georgian studies, welcomes Georgian authorities' decision to grant a general amnesty for 3000 prisoners but he regrets not finding the name of Vahagn Chakhalyan, leader of Javakhq democratic alliance, on the list.
"The fact showed that the country's new authorities agree with their predecessors in Chakhalyan's issue," said the expert.
Ethnic Armenian activist Vahagn Chakhalyan was sent to ten years in prison in 2009 in compliance with article 236.1 (purchase and possession of arms), article 225.2 (participation in disorders), article 226 (organization of public disorders), article 353.2 (resistance to police officer or public agent) and article 239.2b (hooliganism).
