Relatives of victims thank the political prisoners

Politics

Thank God for these boys who prevented the murder of hundreds of people on March 1 and now you are sentencing them for the ten murders," said Sargis Kloyan, who is the father of one of the 10 victims of March 1 Gor Kyolyan during the "Case of Seven" trial today.

He informed Judge Mnatsakan Martirosyan that he believes that the murders of his son and the remaining nine people have nothing to do with the political prisoners.

The father of the son is offended by Head of the ad hoc committee that is leading the inquiry into the events of March 1.

"The head of the ad hoc committee has been lying to me for a year. He promised to visit the families of the ten victims. I have a lot to say. I have seen many things-pools of blood, I stood on top of my son's carcass, how other people injured brought to the hospital. I saw tanks and forces, the orders," said Sargis Kyolyan and joined the arbitration presented to Mnatsakan Martirosyan.

Mother of Tigran Khachatryan, Alla Hovhannisyan, reminded the judge that her attorney hasn't been in the courtroom to date and said:

"My son was murdered by a soldier by a special device. Why did you attach the murders of our sons to this case?"

Alexander Arzumanyan spoke today on behalf of all political prisoners charged with the "Case of Seven" noting that he had stood up in memory of the victims so the trial would begin. He called on the judge to put aside the arbitrations made to this day and allow the relatives to see their attorneys in court. Deputy Hakob Hakobyan announced that he knows who the murderers are and that everyone knows that the police have nothing to do with the murders. He says that their personal killers were hired to kill from different positions.

Unlike the previous trials, today the statements made by the political prisoners did not offend Martirosyan. The accusers were more active, particularly Koryun Piloyan whose statements offended the attorneys of the political prisoners.
