YEREVA N, JANUARY 16, NOYAN TAPAN. Under pressure of the popular
movement organized by the Armenian National Congress, the special
investigation services will still have to make much more disclosures
about the March 1 events, Arman Musinian - spokesman for the first
Armenian president Levon Ter-Petrosian - said at the January 16 press
conference. In his words, by holding the trial on "the case of the
seven", the authorities have reached a deadlock and are now trying to
continue this trial by illegal means. "Instead of looking for the real
killers of 10 innocent victims, the authorities are trying to hold a
rapid trial in a false way. "The case of the seven" will stick in the
authorities' throat," A. Musianian said.
According to him, recently the Criminal Enforcement Department of the
Ministry of Justice invited those put on probation and tried to
convince them to file applications for pardon.
In the opinion of A. Musinian, the co-rapporteurs of the PACE
Monitoring Committee John Prescott and Georges Colombier have arrived
in Armenia only with the aim of ascertaining progress in the
implementation of the PASE resolution's requirement on release of
political prisoners. "In this context there is no necessity to meet
with the opposition. They must receive this answer from authorities,"
he noted.
