NO INTERIM REPORT ON MARCH 1 EVENTS
Support A1+!President of the NA committee on the March 1 events Samvel Nikoyan and ARF deputy Artsvik Minasyan visited today the Nubarashen prison and met with Suren Sirunyan who was sentenced to jail as a result of the March 1 events. Sirunyan informed the deputies that he has not been questioned since May and that he considers his accusation based on article 300 of the Criminal Code as nonsensical.
The results of the meeting with Sirunyan will possibly be known during the next parliamentary session. As for now, president of the committee Samvel Mikoyan told “A1+” that they will receive clarifications regarding Sirunyan’s questions from the head of the discussion group. In fact, Nikoyan is not planning on presenting an interim report. It is very possible that there will be no interim report because it is a matter of time. The National Assembly must present the final report on October 25. “I personally don’t feel the need to present an interim report judging from the fact that a group has been created to gather the facts. It would be right for the committee to make a conclusion based on the final documents,” told “A1+” Samvel Nikoyan. He added that he would wait to collect all of the data and then draw conclusions.
In fact, by the end of October, it is possible that the committee will not meet the deadline set by the NA for presenting the conclusion. “If the parliament forms a group to gather the facts and that group is actually busy with gathering the facts for the committee, then the parliament has to postpone the deadline; otherwise nobody would understand why the committee is presenting a conclusion while the group is still gathering the facts,” said the president of the March 1 events committee.
