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.
