Two days ago, Armenia's general prosecutor appealed to the foreign
ministry to contact several European agencies, so that international
experts can be involved in investigating a video posted on YouTube
which was allegedly shot on Mar. 1-2, 2008, and depicts figures
dressed in police uniform shooting at people. Head of the Mar. 1-2
investigative group Vahagn Harutyunyan conveyed this news to
journalists in the Armenian capital today.
Recall, on Mar. 1-2, 2008, national police and military forces, called
in to disperse the mass riots following a contested presidential
election, used "excessive force and violence" which left 10 people
dead and many more wounded.
The video in question is called "See how they fire on Mar. 1, 2008".
Harutyunyan noted that the body he oversees examined the video;
however, their center is ill-equipped to give clear answers to all
the questions and it was unable to solve the problem of identification.
The investigative group aims to have international experts receive
useful video footage for identifying the shooter.
Harutyunyan also noted that they have expressed their willingness to
hold the investigation not only in Armenia, but also abroad.
