YEREVAN, AUGUST 7, NOYAN TAPAN. More than 100 thousand citizens
have joined the republican siganture collection, which was initiated
on July 14 by People's Movement (PM) with a demand to bring former
Armenian president Robert Kocharian to trial in the Hague international
court for his grave crimes against the people. David Shahnazarian,
a representative of the PM center, announced this at the August 7
press conference.
In his words, R. Kocharian needed the March 1 tragic events,
during which people were killed, in order to keep power. "A crime
against humanity was committed, for which he must be condemned,"
D. Shahnazarian said.
As for the National Assembly Ad Hoc Committee on Inquiry into the
March 1 Events, according to D. Shahnazarian, the authorities have
the same disdainful attitute to this committee because they do not
respond to the questions voiced there. In his opinion, the only task
of the committee is to cover up the March 1 tragedy. "The best thing
the committee can do is to dissolve itself as soon as possible. This
committee does not exist to us because it was set up by the parliament,
which participated in that crime and is now trying to disguise grave
crimes," D. Shahnazarian said.
