YEREVAN, August 15. /ARKA/. Armenia's ad hoc parliamentary set up
to investigate the March 1-2 events in Yerevan is completing the
collection of facts concerning the events on March 1 morning.
Commission Chairman Samvel Nikoyan reported that the commission
has all the documents at its disposal to start preparing a
resolution. "However, new questions are arising, and we will apply
to government bodies to specify the information," Nikoyan said.
He pointed out that 41 policemen were injured, but the exact number
of civilians that applied for medical aid has to be specified for
the commission to ascertain the adequacy of force used.
In this context, Nikoyan pointed out the need for additional
information to reconstruct the chronology of the events.
Nikoyan called on the commission members to be ready for serious work -
meeting with witnesses, police officers etc.
The ad hoc parliamentary commission was set up on July 16, 2008,
in conformity with PACE Resolution No.1609, which was adopted this
April as a result of political instability and riots in Armenia.
