ArmInfo.We came up with a legislative initiative so that a person who was released from a penitentiary institution would receive an allowance for two months. On February 22, Minister of Justice of Armenia Artak Zeinalan told journalists about it.
He noted that this period is necessary for the former prisoner to get a job. As for the people who "fell under the amnesty", after which they again committed the crime, the minister said that there is no factual information about this yet. "When we discussed the draft amnesty, we warned that in this regard, a rise in crime could be recorded in the country. Since after every amnesty, a rise in crime is always noticed in the country," he stressed.
The Minister noted that, under the amnesty, persons who had once been forgiven, were released on parole and again committed a crime were not released.
