He expressed hope that political caution will prevail and, due to instructions given by President Serzh Sargsyan regarding the investigation into the March 1 events, legal grounds will be created for release of those imprisoned with respect to them. Melikyan said it is not necessary to amend the legislation to release these prisoners. According to him, petitions for pardon, amnesty, etc, may serve as such legal grounds.
