Interview By Arman Galoyan
The ad-hoc parliament committee to study March 1 is going to release
its final report between September 14 and 17. This was stated by the
chair of the committee Samvel Nikoyan in an interview with Radio
Liberty. Nikoyan also said that the report is going to answer the
questions of people that pend, from the time of the action to the
revelation of those who ordered to launch the action. On the other
hand, however, Nikoyan said that "some circumstances of death remain
unknown", and they have not found the question to the answer "whose
actions resulted in the death of people".
What are the expectations of the opposition activists, members of
the fact-finding group?
Andranik Kocharyan , representative of the Armenian National Congress
to the fact-finding group
"Following Mr. Nikoyan's behavior and evaluations in the past month,
considering that in the past month the group did not operate at full,
the members of the group were on vacation, knowing the immense amount
of materials supplied by the fact-finding group, I cannot imagine
that it is possible to present a report in such a short time. I have
no expectations. I suppose that the report must include the facts we
have acquired and answer all the questions that worry the public. If
all this has not been included in the report or it is going to be
incomplete, I think it will not satisfy the society. Presently, there
are three reports on March 1 which have been released. Considering
the evaluations of these reports by the families of the victims of
March 1, they were satisfied by the reports of the fact-finding group."
Nikoyan has also announced that the circumstances of death of the
victims of March 1 remain unknown, as well as the persons whose
actions or orders caused the tragedy. I would like to know your
opinion on this.
Mr. Nikoyan is not telling the truth. The fact-finding group has
been able to present the circumstances of death of five of ten
victims completely. The reports reveal the killers of three people,
the circumstances of death of the other two were revealed, but the
investigation body has a lot of things to do, to reveal the real
perpetrators. Perhaps Mr. Nikoyan does not have the right to tell such
things, especially that he has the materials on the circumstances
of death of five of the ten victims. A year and a half has passed,
however, and there is no progress. And if this continues, it will
cause further problems. I think the investigation is not serious.
Vahe Stepanyan, representative of the HRD to the fact-finding group,
head of the staff of the Human Rights Defender
I have no expectations from that report.
Samvel Nikoyan said that the circumstances of death of the victims
of March 1 remain unknown, as well as the persons whose actions or
orders caused the tragedy. I would like to know your opinion on this.
Nikoyan stated from the beginning that they have no information.
Do you think the materials presented by the fact-finding group were
not sufficient for Nikoyan?
It was possible to answer those questions without the materials
of the fact-finding group but the investigation body, the special
investigative service, was to work in that direction, both the use
of special means and other issues. It was the job of professionals,
and there was no need to set up special organizations.
Why did they set up the special organizations, and the investigative
body did not set to answer those questions?
Most probably they did not wish to, therefore they did not do anything
serious. I think one does not have to be Sherlock Holmes to reveal
all this.
