Stepan Demirchyan, an Armenian National Congress (ANC) parliamentary
group member, stated in parliament on Tuesday that new elections are
the only means of resolving the present post-election crisis.
He is harshly critical of Armenia's authorities for speaking of
"tolerance," "dialogue," "reasonable concessions" after they rig
elections.
On the other hand, they brand the opposition's demands for fair
elections "maximalistic."
The ANC has repeatedly stated that holding democratic elections is
the best dialogue.
"There is no other solution. This is the only reasonable step that
can resolve the present crisis," he said.
Mr Demirchyan hopes that the interim parliamentary commission set
up to investigate the March 1 events in Armenia's capital will solve
the murder crimes.
"The perpetrators of the March 1 slaughter must be punished - not only
for the sake of the victims' relatives, but also for the sake of our
country and people. Such crimes must not recur," Mr Demirchyan said.
