Armenia
During the special parliamentary session held yesterday, Heritage
Party Leader Stepan Safaryan, who criticized the March 1 Commission's
conclusion, noting that after becoming familiar with the report, he
had the impression that the report was on the topic of social status,
since, according to him, the report more so discussed the polarization
of the classes.
Safaryan expressed a conviction that the report's entire summary was
that the events which took place in the Republic of Armenia could've
been prevented, if ex-president Levon Ter-Petrosyan wanted.
"This is nothing else, if not to affirm that during those days the
president was Levon Ter-Petrosyan. I cannot accept another conclusion,
it turns out that Robert Kocharian could not contain the situation, and
the army and official bodies worked spontaneously," announced Safaryan.
In Safaryan's opinion, when speaking about the March 1 events, one
must also speak about the three presidents (Kocharian, Ter-Petrosyan,
Sargsyan), who were participants in the events during those days. In
Kocharian's case, according to Safaryan, one must speak about criminal
accountability, because at the time he was the one in charge of
the situation. Safaryan is convinced that during those days under
Kocharian's charge, actions took place which were in conflict with
Armenia's Constitution.
