Relatives are disappointed with Samvel Nikoyan
Relatives of the March 1 victims today staged an action in front of Parliament in protest against the parliamentary interim commission looking into the events of March 1-2 and its Chair Samvel Nikoyan.
"Nikoyan has been lulling us for a year and a half. Today he announces that they have not disclosed the murders. We think that the commission must shoulder responsibility for our children's death as well. Otherwise, what's the aim of this commission? Nikoyan brilliantly met his duties - he concealed the March 1 tragedy," said the mother of March 1 victim Tigran Khachatrian.
"I wouldn't like anyone including Samvel Nikoyan to feel the pain we are experiencing. Nikoyan mustn't tell lies and sell his soul to the devil. I am deeply disappointed with Nikoyan," said the mother of Samvel Harutiunian.
Gor Qloyan's father, Sargis Qloyan, was indignant at the fact that the parliamentary commission hadn't invited the Prosecutor General to disclose the users of Cheryomukha -7 special device.
"We all know the real murderers-warrant officers of Police Military Unit 1033 and their superiors who gave the order of opening fire at peaceful demonstrators. Why doesn't Nikoyan speak up?" said Mr. Qloyan.
The relatives urge to resume the activity of disbanded Fact-Finding Group or to set up a new group with international experts.
While the protesters were setting their demands, Samvel Nikoyan was presenting the commission's final report on the March 1 events.
