Alen Simonyan sure the number of prisoners will eventually reach zero: Highlights from press briefing

Today, there are 23 confirmed prisoners, and I am sure that their number will eventually reach zero, Parliament Speaker Alen Simonyan told reporters at the National Assembly.

Highlights from Simonyan’s statements:

• All prisoners will return, including the former leaders of Karabakh. The government will do everything possible to ensure everyone comes back.
• Simonyan is ready to travel to Baku at an appropriate time. Although he has not received a personal invitation from Azerbaijan, he would consider it if such an opportunity arises.
• Simonyan says not only are there no political prisoners in Armenia, there is no opposition in Armenia. He stated that the government sets the agenda, while the opposition merely reacts.
