ANC TO PARTICIPATE IN WORK OF FACT-FINDING GROUP IF IT HAS ENOUGH POWERS
YEREVAN, OCTOBER 16, NOYAN TAPAN. The Armenian National Congress (ANC)
will participate in the work of the fact-finding group on March 1
events, if this group has the respective powers, Arman Musinian,
spokesman for the first Armenian president Levon Ter-Petrosian, said on
October 16. According to him, in particular, the group should be given
an opportunity to question some high-ranking officials.
A. Musinian reminded that from the very start the opposition proposed
setting up a commission on inquiry into the March 1 events which is
composed of an equal number of representatives of the authorities and
the opposition but the authorities rejected that proposal. As for the
current fact-finding group, A. Musinian said that it was the West's
pressure that made the authorities give consent for its creation.
A. Musinian expressed an opinion that the fact-finding group should
have enough powers in order not to disappoint the society which was
actually done by the parliamentary ad hoc committee into inquiry of the
March 1-2 events. He said that in the past few months the indicated
committee did nothing, except for covering up the facts.
