ARTUR SAKUNTS ABOUT ESTABLISHMENT OF "MARCH 1" COMMITTEE. "THE RPA IS MAKING A FALLACY."
February 28 2014
At the four-day sitting of the National Assembly, as a special
procedure, the draft resolution authored by the National Congress on
establishment of ad-hoc committee to examine the events of March 1
is under discussion. The draft proceeds under heated discussions, the
passions are inflamed to the point that mutual accusations and insults
are heard. Republican MPs, when discussing the issue, reminded the
former military prosecutor Gagik Jhangiryan about the October 27 case,
on the other hand, urged if there are facts or evidences on March 1,
to present them to relevant authorities. Mutual accusations from the
opposition are heard addressed to the authorities. In the conversation
with Aravot.am, Head of HCA Vanadzor office, Artur Sakunts, assured
that "he has no doubt that the draft will not pass, because the
political majority bears the responsibility of March 1st, which, on
March 5, granted the prosecutor's motion at the National Assembly and
deprived four deputies from immunity without evidences." Mr. Sakunts
believes that he does not have expectations that even if the committee
is established, it will give the answers to all concerned questions.
On the other hand, he emphasized, "First and foremost, the issue and
necessity of giving legal assessment to March 1 crime is kept on the
agenda. It would be desirable that it was not associated with the
calendar March 1, but to be a primary task with all possible ways
over the six years. It is also an indicator that the Republican
Party is a political majority, which at that time was also also
a political majority and responsible for the authorities and bears
direct responsible for this crime." Artur Sakunts considers fallacy
the fact that the Republicans are voicing opinions that they are also
in favor of establishment of such a committee and note, "Should they be
in favor of like they are stating now that they are also worried about
the March 1 crime, they would have come up with an offer to establish
this Committee." As an evidence of "idleness" of the authorities,
Artur Sakunts noted the fact that their letter-offer was left out
of attention that SIS are invited all the officials who are directly
responsible for this crime. Artur Sakunts noted that the authorities
are not interested in it and said, "They are not interest, because the
executive power heads their political majority and they can submit a
claim to law enforcement that these officials are interrogated by SIS,
as well as the officials and oligarchs, whose bodyguards, according to
the report submitted by the fact-finding group, military uniforms were
distributed and have been involved in violence against civilians. The
political majority, if wishes that March 1 crime is revealed, it more
than had the opportunities to provide legal assessment and reveal
the crime."
