Davis is disappointed in the police
Secretary General of the Council of Europe Terry Davis expressed concerns again today and he has been expressing them over and over for the past year.
The "A1+" asked Davis to weigh the political situation in Armenia. He recalled that despite some progress, nobody has been suspected of the murders on March 1, 2008.
"The police must be in charge of that," said Davis.
Mr. Davis said that when he speaks with Armenian authorities, the latter say that investigation into the events of March 1 is underway.
"But that is not the same thing. The police are in charge of revealing the crimes and murder is a crime," underscored Davis.
He also expressed disappointment in the police for not achieving any results in revealing the crimes in the course of one year.
The CE Secretary General welcomed the latest developments in Turkish-Armenian relations and said that although he is not aware of the details of the latest meeting, he praised the dialogue which both CE-member countries lacked for the past 19 years.
"It is time to leave history to historians. I understand the deep feelings of Armenians in relation to what is called genocide. I personally paid a visit to the Genocide Memorial and I understand all that. But I think that the latest meetings of the Armenian President, the Turkish President and Prime Minister are praiseworthy," told "A1+" Davis.
