MPs offer to turn penitentiaries into museums
Nubarashen penitentiary needs to be closed as its worse than Auschwitz concentration camp, PAP MP Naira Zohrabyan stated at the NA today. She is the candidate to head the Human Rights and Public Affairs Standing Committee.
My Step faction MP Nikolay Baghdasaryan offered not to close it but turn into a museum.
“Let’s not close it, but turn into a museum. I had this idea for quite a long time and I will share it with you,” Baghdasaryan said.
In response, Zohrabyan described it as a “very interesting idea.” “You know I was in Goris about a month ago and visited the Goris penitentiary, if I am not mistaken it was built in 1810. Horses were kept there and later it was turned into a penitentiary. This building may be turned into a fantastic museum. In case of Nubarashen, I will join your initiative,” she said.
