"Yesterday Tigran Sargsyan announced new murders will take place in the country unless the atmosphere of hatred, wickedness and intolerance is lifted. To tell the truth, I shivered when I heard his words," the widow of a victim of October 27 parliamentary carnage Yury Bakhshyan, Anahit Bakhshyan, said today.

"How Tigran Sargsyan could say such things!" I was concerned, moreover, I feared from his words. Tigran Sargsyan didn't speak of the revelation of the October 27 crime; rather, he didn't rule out its repetition in the country," says Mrs. Bakhshyan.

She is also surprised at Tigran Sargsyan's excuse which, she says, is connected with his past activities. "I represented the main opposition for five years. I feel guilty of many things and beg your pardon for my mistakes," said the Prime Minister.

Anahit Bakhshyan cannot recall the time when Tigran Sargsyan was an oppositionist. "His words reminded me of Vazgen Sargsyan's deeds. After being appointed Prime Minister Vazgen Sargsyan publicly announced that the country had taken a wrong economic and political course. I remember him saying that everyone, including his relatives, should pay taxes. Tigran Sargsyan has never made such an announcement. But I feel fear in his words which means the index of terror acts has gone up in our country. Today dark forces settle their matters through terrorism, and the Prime Minister doesn't exclude new murders."

Anahit Bakhshyan would like to have a talk with Tigran Sargsyan. "I wonder whether he has ever shared his yesterday's thoughts with Serzh Sargsyan and whether he has warned our top brass against murders and terror acts co-authored by Serzh Sargsyan."

Mrs. Bakhshyan would have believed Tigran Sargsyan if he had made the statement after the March 1 deadly clashes.

"Tigran Sargsyan wasn't the last person in this country on March 1. Why didn't he make an announcement then? Why didn't he say what are you doing, men! Who are you shooting at? I really want to speak frankly to Tigran Sargsyan as today I don't understand him."
