    'CASE IS SOLVED, COMPLETED': MAR. 1 VICTIM ARMEN FARMANYAN WOULD'VE BEEN 37 TODAY

    Armen Farmanyan, who died on Mar. 1, 2008, would've been 37 years
    old today.

    Though over 3.5 years have passed since his death, we see no progress
    in his case, said Armen's father, Vachagan Farmanyan, in conversation
    with Epress.am.

    According to him, they have meetings with representatives of
    international agencies, they hand them letters, but nothing changes.

    "They want to forget March 1, but we won't let them. We hope there
    will be progress during this administration's term. Actually, this
    case is actually solved, finished; there is the shooter, there is the
    person who gave the order; they just don't want to consider it solved.

    It's their handiwork, by their men. The Cheryomukha is a prohibited
    weapon, why did they use it? And the snipers shot... It's clearly
    solved," he said.

    Armen's father said apart from the opposition bloc the Armenian
    National Congress, they don't pin hopes on any other political force
    or the National Assembly.

    "Our hopes are tied only with the [Armenian National] Congress. [The]
    Heritage [Party] is also opposition, and supposedly Dashnaktsutyun
    [the Armenian Revolutionary Federation] is also opposition, but none
    of them are doing anything," he said.

    Recall that mass protests against alleged electoral fraud, organized by
    supporters of unsuccessful presidential candidate, first president of
    the Republic of Armenia Levon Ter-Petrossian, followed the presidential
    election of Feb. 19, 2008, in Armenia. On Mar. 1, 2008, national police
    and military forces, called in to disperse the crowds, used "excessive
    force and violence" which left 10 people dead and many more wounded.
