    ARMENIAN OPPOSITIONAL LEADER: WE HAVE PROVED IDENTITIES OF POLICEMEN WHO SHOT AT DEMONSTRATORS FROM AUTOMATIC RIFLES

    ArmInfo. 'We have proved identities of the policemen in masks who
    shot at demonstrators from automatic rifles on March 1', the first
    President of Armenia, oppositional leader Levon Ter-Petrosyan said
    at yesterday's 1st conference of Armenian National Congress [ANC].

    According to him, all the data received from the reliable sources, have
    already been submitted to the Expert Group investigating circumstances
    of the March 1 tragic events, the Human Rights Commissioner Thomas
    Hammerberg and heads of several diplomatic missions accredited
    in Yerevan. As L. Ter-Petrosyan said, according to the specified
    data, the actions of pogromists who fired the cars and robbed the
    stores were coordinated by five top officials and four oligarchs. He
    added that the 'number of participants in bandit groups under the
    authorities' control amounted to 950 people'. L. Ter-Petrosyan
    said one of the most important tasks of the opposition is complete
    denial of the power version of the events, according to which there
    were collisions among the demonstrators and the police having been
    allegedly provoked by the opposition. 'The circumstance that March 1
    crime is nothing but a monstrous slaughter, dispassionately organized
    by the leaders of the banditism, is already an absolute truth for the
    Armenian public. Under the pressure of facts, the world community
    has finally started to be convinced of this', L. Ter-Petrosyan
    said. The oppositional leader also added that irrespective of the
    internal political and geopolitical environment, the ANC will hold
    a several thousand strong rally and a procession on March 1, 2009,
    timed to the anniversary of the tragic events.

    To note, Armenian National Congress had to hold its first conference
    in a small hall for 320 people in the ANC office of Erebuni Yerevan
    community, as the authorities refused to provide the opposition with
    an apartment.
