Commission members did not return empty-handed
The NA Ad-Hoc Commission looking into the March 1-2 events visited Defence Ministry's depots on September 8. Three Commission members Gurgen Arsenyan, Artyusha Shahbazyan and Aram Harutyunyan went to the depots to verify the information on providing clothes and hats to top officials and oligarchs on March 1, 2008.
"We spent 4, 5 hours at the depots. The visit was useful. I cannot disclose the information we furnished as we still need to confront the facts. We shall present our findings at the Commission's forthcoming sitting," Artyusha Shahbazyan said to A1+.
In the Defence Ministry the Commission members met with Major-General Tigran Gasparyan whose name is mentioned in the report of the Fact-Finding Group.
"He willingly answered all our questions. We had the name of the man who is said to have received the clothes and hats. We checked the information as well," said Mr. Shahbazyan.
The commission members also checked the journals, follow-ups, documents and took copies.
To A1+'s question whether they were able to find out if the document submitted by the Fact-Finding Group belonged to the Defence Ministry, Mr. Shahbazyan stood mute.
