YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 20, NOYAN TAPAN. During the November 20 sitting
of the National Assembly Ad Hoc Committee on Inquiry into the March
1-2 Events in Yerevan and their Causes, the deputy chairman of
"National Unity" (NU) party Sargis Muradkhanian made a statement, in
which NU proposes that the Ad Hoc Committee submit a petition to the
president Serzh Sargsyan - a petition on the "release of the persons
imprisoned under the cases on the March 1-2 events through the high
presidential intervention". According to the authors of the statement,
this position of their party aims to strengthgen Armenian statehood,
establish solidarity and develop democracy in the country.
"NU" believes that such a humane step of the Armenian president
will reduce the tension in the internal political life, improve the
situation in the country and become a serious impulse for all political
forces to unite around the Armenian president and act jointly in order
to consolidate the nation and confront the challenges threatening
Armenia and the Nagorno Karabakh Republic, and it will also contribute
to formation of a political atmosphere excluding a repetition of the
March 1-2 events in the future".
The Committee made a decision not to discuss the statement of
"National Unity". In the words of the Committee's chairman, secretary
of "RPA" faction Samvel Nikoyan, the Committee is ready to discuss any
proposal made by its member, but not by a political force because in
its activities the Committee must be independent and not constrained
by a political force whose representative is a member of the Committee.
