YEREVAN, MARCH 25, NOYAN TAPAN. Independent deputy Viktor Dallakian
has submitted a draft decision to the National Assembly Speaker on
creating an ad hoc parliamentary commission to study the tragic events
that happened in early March. As the deputy reported at the March 25
press conference, representatives of the NA Zharangutiun (Heritage)
faction, as well as of extra-parliamentary political forces are to be
included in the commission. The commission, according to the draft's
author, is to study the causes of post-electoral developments, ways of
coming out of the formed situation, issues connected with protection
of rights of arrested oppositionists.
V. Dallakian said that he had visited Gegham Haroutiunian, his
old friend and fellow course member, a member of the Hanrapetutiun
(Republic) party's Political Board, and made sure that the latter,
as well as other opposition figures being under custody together with
him have no complaints.
Considering positive creation of a coalition by four political forces,
the deputy meanwhile said that the statements that the coalition
enjoys support of 70% voters does not correspond to reality. He
mentioned that in the presidential elections part of voters voted
for Artur Baghdasarian, the Chairman of the Orinats Yerkir (Country
of Law) party or for Vahan Hovhannisian, a member of the ARFD Bureau,
as they were against the candidatures of Prime Minister Serge Sargsian
and first Armenian President Levon Ter-Petrosian.
According to V. Dallakian, the coalition's real goals, in particular,
will become clear from the fact how the authorities will treat the
proposals of coming out of the situation formed in the country. He said
that he has made several proposals of the kind in the parliament, but
has received no response regarding them so far. Meanwhile V. Dallakian
said that various parliamentary forces consider that his proposals
are discussable.
In response to Noyan Tapan correspondent's question V. Dallakian
refuted information on proposing the post of the NA Speaker to him. He
said that none of the rumors regarding him has been confirmed lately.
