RA NA Speaker expects positive decision on release of opposition supporters

Speaker of the Armenian parliament Hovik Abrahamyan expects a positive decision on the offer submitted by the coalition forces to the Armenian President for release of opposition supporters.

“I personally hope that it will happen,” Abrahamyan said, recalling that the Republican Party of Armenia, Prosperous Armenia and Orinats Yerkir parliamentary groups of the coalition submitted the offer on release of a range of opposition supporters.

The Armenian media reported earlier that opposition members are likely to be released on May 28, Armenia’s First Republic Day.
