Armenian opposition leader Levon Ter-Petrosian has struck an optimistic note about the prospect of an imminent release of about a dozen members of his alliance currently in jail after politically charged trials.
In an exclusive interview with RFE/RL's Armenian service on Thursday just minutes before meeting Council of Europe Secretary General Thorbjorn Jagland, Ter-Petrosian said that he believes "everybody will be released in the near future."
"I cannot say precisely when, but there is no doubt that the process is on," he added.
The opposition leader said that this and other concerns related to the state of democracy in Armenia would be addressed during his meeting with the Council of Europe's official.
