NEW TIMES REACTED TO BABAYAN RELEASE BY ISSUING NEW STATEMENT

Politics

On Friday, Nagorno-Karabakh Republic’s president Arkadi Ghukasyan granted amnesty to Karabakh war hero general Samvel Babayan convicted of masterminding the president assassination attempt and being kept in jail for 4,5 years.

New Times party came up with a statement Monday reminding another statement issued recently by the party’s leader Aram Karapetyan together with Constitutional Right party chair Grant Khachaytryan. The statement demanded immediate release of the general from detention. “Refusal to release Samvel Babayan will be taken as another move against creation of unity and atmosphere of tolerance”, the then statement said.

In its new statement, New Times party is welcoming the authorities’ retarded but cautious decision.

The party hopes that “proposals made by us beforehand on political and economic reforms, a part of which are now at the stage of implementation, will be put into reality quicker than before”.
