    "THEY RUSH SO THAT THE INTERVAL BETWEEN THE VERDICT ON HARSNAKAR AND THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION IS BIG" (VIDEO)

    www.aravot.am inquired during a conversation with Larisa Alaverdyan, a
    member of the Vahe Avetyan initiative group, at what stage the process
    of establishing a public justice tribunal, about which the members of
    the initiative group had stated two days earlier, was. Ms. Alaverdyan
    replied, "We are starting discussions with the young representatives
    of the initiative group on holding accountable all the Harsnakar
    perpetrators. The mechanism has just not been used until now and we
    think that discussions will continue and we can establish a sort of
    forum along with all interested organizations. Our system is under
    threat, as it is and one must not allow it to become a system of
    persons united to carry out criminal functions."

    We asked L. Alaverdyan to assess the fact that the motion of the
    parties to involve R. Hayrapetyan in the trial as an accused was
    denied. Ms. Alaverdyan replied, "I want to make an assessment
    of the speedy process, which is worth not only legal, but also
    political assessment. Leaving the motions unanswered, that rush of
    the prosecutor's office to send the case to court is characterized
    with things that clearly manifest violations of concrete articles of
    the law. Lo and behold, there is no fair trial. That makes one say
    that the government - in this case, the law-enforcement bodies and
    the prosecutor's office - politicizes this issue."

    We inquired what the reason for such rush was, in L. Alaverdyan's
    opinion. She replied, "In any case, the law-enforcers tend to neglect
    this terrible and horrible crime, to start earlier, to finish earlier.

    I think that it is done in order that there is a big interval between
    the verdict and the presidential election. The Armenian society
    has proved how tolerant and forgetful it is, in such cruel cases,
    leniency is more than necessary."

    As for involving R. Hayrapetyan in the case, Ms. Alaverdyan said that
    not only did she agree, but she was also surprised why the motion
    had been denied.
