“AUTHORITIES ARE NOT INTERESTED IN DISCLOSING MARCH 1 TRAGEDY”

Head of the Heritage Party faction Ruben Hakobyan says the authorities
are not interested in disclosing the March 2008 deadly clashes
in Armenia.
He agrees with his collague Alexander Arzumanyan who says the
Prosperous Armenia Party (BHK) and Armenian Revolutionary Federation
-Dashnaktsutyun do not have the desire to reveal the tragic clashes
as they were with the Republicans during the March 1 bloodshed.
“Being in a coalition government does not mean that we were for
concealing the facts,” says Aghvan Vardanyan, Secretary of the
Dashnaktsutyun faction.
“You cannot blame Dashnaktsutyun, and it is already time to turn over
the chapter of March 1,” said Vardanyan. He disagrees with HAK’s
position that March 1 will not be revealed as long as the acting
authorities are in power.
Aghvan Vardanyan thinks that the government should compensate the
relatives of the ten victims.
The Country of Law Party (OEK) blames the ten deaths on the
‘criminal-oligarchic elements.’ When asked to name these elements,
Mher Shahgeldyan said these are people who do not have political
orientation.
HAK MP Gagik Jahangiryan hopes that the Republican Party will agree
to create an interim committee to investigate the March 1 clashes
and identify the circumstances of the murders.
