Answering to the question of Liberty Radio Station correspondent, Levon Ter-Petrosyan revealed the perpetrator of 1996 military actions. The following question was asked: Ter-Petrosyan condemned the violations against the chairman of the NA and his deputies in 1996. Does he condemn the violation against the political actors carried out by the heads of penitentiaries and tanks brought out to Yerevan streets then?

Levon Ter-Petrosyan said: “ No, I do not condemn, I agree with Kocharyan. If we attacked a building, he had the right to disperse us by all technical means set up by international laws, yes he had the right. No state should allow massive disorder, attacks on state buildings, kidnapping of state officials. If you attacked a building and Robert Kocharyan would do what he did in the morning that would be legal”.

According to Levon Ter-Petrosyan, they had assaulted on peaceful demonstrators today. He reminded 1996, when the deputy chairmen of the NA were beaten and the president was taken in an unknown direction. “The whole operation was headed by Serge Sargsyan. Vano Siradeghyan and Vazgen Sargsyan had nothing in common with the mentioned actions. Serge Sargsyan headed the security powers, national security, as well as police powers. When people assaulted on the NA, Serge Sargsyan said: “We should open fire” and I said only to the air”.

Levon Ter-Petrosyan reminded that no one was injured from a gun shot then.
