ARMENPRESS. Minister of Justice Rustam Badasyan has commented on the 1999 Armenian Parliament terror attack ringleader Nairi Hunanyan’s parole request.

Speaking at a Cabinet Q&A session in parliament Badasyan said a number of scenarios are possible regarding the request of early release.

“Scenario number one: if both the probation service and the [corrections] service issue a positive conclusion, then a relevant motion is presented to court. If one of the two agencies gives a positive conclusion and the other one negative, then the issue can be examined in court proceedings at the written consent of the convict.

If both issue a negative conclusion then the discussion of the issue is considered rejected. In this case the [corrections] service has already issued a negative conclusion. Given that the probation service will be guided with the same standards I believe the outcome is clear,” Badasyan said.
