YEREVAN, OCTOBER 22, NOYAN TAPAN. "The NA Ad-hoc Committee on the
Events Occurred on 1-2 March 2008 in Yerevan and Their Reasons is
a failure: it has made no disclosure except the version about the
piglet," Levon Zurabian, the Coordinator of the Armenian National
Congress (ANC) stated at the October 22 press conference. He reminded
the conviction voiced by People's Movement leaders when the Committee
was just being created that the Committee's main "mission" will be
to slur over the March 1 crime of the authorities. L. Zurabian said
that not participating in Committee's work was a right decision, as
otherwise creation of a fact-finding group could not be spoken about.
ANC will take part in the work of the fact-finding group without
fail, as the number of power and opposition representatives in it
will be equal.
However oppositionists have another three conditions for working
in the fact-finding group. According to L. Zurabian, the first
condition is that the group should have the right to interrogate any
person irrespective of the position he takes. According to the second
condition, the group should be able to receive all necessary documents
from state bodies. And the third condition is that all March 1 video
materials and recordings made by the National Security Service and
Police should be accessible for the fact-finding group.
