The founder of the Armenian National Congress Levon Ter-Petrosyan
stated December 21 that shoplifting, arson of cars and other
provocations on March 1 were perpetrated by certain gangs whose members
counted 950. Those gangs were created, equipped and provided to the
center which coordinated the clampdown by five high-ranking officials
and four oligarchs.
In a news conference on December 22 at the Friday press club the
representative of the Armenian National Congress Levon Zurabyan stated
that the names of those five officials and four oligarchs, as well
as the document from which they got the information were handed over
to the fact-finding group which will study this fact. Levon Zurabyan
said they know the names of people but they will not reveal them
to reporters, noting that the fact-finding group must study, which
was provided with information and the names of those 9 through the
representative of the ANC to the fact-finding group.
As to participation of the ANC in the fact-finding group in future,
Levon Zurabyan said the obstacles about which they announced persist
and have not been eliminated. At the same time, however, Levon Zurabyan
said certain work is done even in that situation, and progress is
obvious. The ANC will continue to work as long as it is possible,
and if a hindrance is created, and=2 0the fact-finding group’s work
turns into imitation, the ANC will not stay in the fact-finding group,
Levon Zurabyan stated.
By the way, Levon Zurabyan said it is notable that the famous
recommendation of the PACE monitoring committee does not mention
anything about the parliamentary committee to study March 1. Levon
Zurabyan said in previous documents the committee was mentioned,
this time it was not mentioned. Levon Zurabyan says it means nobody
cares for the parliamentary committee anymore, not even Europe.
