Washington, DC - The Armenian Assembly of America joins with Armenians
around the world in mourning the senseless loss of life as a result
of the violence that erupted in Yerevan on March 1, 2008. We extend
our deepest sympathies to the families who lost loved ones.
We reiterate the points made in our prior statement (attached below)
in which we called upon all parties to adhere "to the rule of law
and to refrain from violence," as well as to ensure that the media
will cover the events as they take place with fairness and balance.
At this critical juncture, Armenia's young democracy faces a crucial
test.
We hope that the authorities will lift the state of emergency as soon
as possible. We urge all parties to work within the legal framework and
welcome the steps taken that led to the de-escalation of violence. We
urge all sides to maintain peace and order, and urge in the strongest
terms that the resumption of violence be avoided at all costs. With
the legal process now underway before the Constitutional Court,
we urge that the independence of the judicial process be upheld and
that the integrity of the Court be maintained for the good of the
Armenian people.
