GAGIK JHANGIRYAN: RRELATIVES OF MARCH 1 VICTIMS HAVE NOT RECEIVED COMPENSATION
14:46 | October 17,2014 | Politics
During today's sitting of the National Assembly Standing Committee
on State and Legal Affairs, opposition lawmaker Gagik Jhangiryan
presented the draft bill on compensating the victims of violent crimes.
While the Constitution stipulates that victims shall receive
compensation for the damage, the relatives of the March 2008 tragedy
have not been compensated to this day. Lawmaker Edmon Marukyan was
the first to give his approval to the bill.
"The owners of vehicles that were damaged during the March 1 clashes,
as well as the owners of the burnt stores, have received compensation,
but the relatives of the victims have not received anything."
Earlier the government gave a negative assessment to the bill,
explaining its refusal in such formulations that offended Mr
Jhnagiryan. "One should not write such things. Of course, they could
revise and edit the bill, change several commas and other punctuation
marks but not the content. You are insulting my dignity, and I may
never want to submit another bill," Aravot.am reports.
