Yerevan (Yerkir) - ARF Supreme Body of Armenia issued a statement on
March 3 in connection with the March 1 and 2 events in Yerevan.
The statement says in parts: What happened is our common tragedy and
shame and that finding a solution is an obligation for all of us.
On one hand, Levon Ter-Petrosyan's supporters had been preparing this
scenario by planting hatred and hostility, and on the other hand,
the reasons of poverty in the nation were not being eliminated.
The result was the heavy loss of this country, and Armenian citizens
were killed. The ARF Supreme Body expresses its deepest sympathies
with the families of the killed people.
We emphasize that the activities of the first president and his
supporters were aimed at seizing the power forcefully, and the Armenian
president's decree to declare state of the emergency in the capital
was a necessity.
We are demanding that the authorities carry out steps in two
directions: bring to justice all who are responsible for the unrest;
take consistent measures to deal with the reasons that have caused
the mistrust and injustice in the country, and take the country to
the path of democratization and protection of human rights.
