Politics


“All the ten murders of last March 1 will be disclosed either by us or by the authorities under our pressure,” Coordinator of the Armenian National Congress Levon Zurabyan said today in reply to A1+’s question concerning Cheryomukha 7-over-sized, gas powered bullets.


We are studying all episodes in the footages. We haven’t come to that episode that’s why we cannot express an opinion yet,” said Mr. Zurabyan.


Today the Congress is much concerned about the political prisoners. “If the authorities don’t tackle the issue we shall put our shoulder to the wheel,” Zurabyan announced today. He noted that after the December session of the PACE Monitoring Committee things have further worsened. /Zurabyan meant the political prisoners beaten in prisons/.


According to the ANC Coordinator today there are 59 political prisoners in Armenian prisons, and their names are known to all international structures. Serviceman Karen Hayrapetyan who had perjured against Armenian MP Myasnik Malkhasyan is among them.


The release of political prisoners will mean a defeat for the authorities. But our leadership does not realise that their release also means a victory for them and the whole country.


Zurabyan is also concerned over an upcoming Sargsyan-Aliyev meeting. “Serzh Sargsyan is а weak link as long as there are political prisoners in Armenia.”


Levon Zurabyan also referred to NA Speaker Hovik Abrahamyan’s letters sent to the governments of different countries. Zurabyan cited a sentence from the letters: “If you long for the settlement of the Karabakh conflict do not suspend Armenia’s voting right.” Then he added: If, anyway, the Committee suspends Armenia’s voting right, the authorities will be made accountable for it.”
