Deputies of “Yelk” demand financial compensation in the case of March 1

Deputies of the National Assembly “Yelk” faction Lena Nazaryan and Alen Simonyan put into circulation a legislative initiative related to the events of March 1.

“During the public hearing “About the events of March 1, 2, 2008” held in the National Assembly in February of this year, MP Nikol Pashinyan undertook to develop a legislative package that would provide decent compensation to the relatives of the victims of the events of March 1, 2. Nikol Pashinyan did not manage to do it. 

Today, MP Alen Simonyan and I put into circulation the draft law of the Republic of Armenia “On compensation for damages caused to the life or health of persons during the events that took place in Yerevan on March 1, 2, 2008”. The government will decide the amount, term, payment procedure and conditions of compensation.

The goal of the project is to restore justice, trust in state institutions and establish public solidarity.”
