Yerevan, 13 November: Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights
Thomas Hammarberg is ready to render assistance in attracting foreign
specialists in the work of the fact-finding group probing the 1-2
March events [the authorities used force to disperse opposition
protests following the February presidential election] in Yerevan,
Armenia's ombudsman Armen Harutyunyan said in Yerevan today.
He welcomed the participation of opposition representatives in the
work of the group. The first meeting of this advisory body has already
been held, and the ombudsman's representative, Vahe Stepanyan, has
been elected its head.
Noting the "necessity to consolidate the public and overcome the 1-2
March syndrome", Harutyunyan urged the opposition to also participate
in the work of the ad-hoc parliamentary committee investigating the
March events.
