“There will definitely be an investigation”
HAK representative David Shahnazaryan also gave a speech at the rally and mentioned the fact that Armenia in no way responded to the calls of international organizations, especially the European Union in wake of the events of March 1, 2008.
He recalled the international organizations' calls on leading an independent investigation, putting an end to the political persecutions and releasing people who had been sent to prison for their political views and mentioned that those calls remained unanswered.
David Shahnazaryan added that the opposition wants to lead an investigation at the international level.
"The sooner the investigation is led, the better. We will do it in any case. If not now, the power elected by the people will," said Shahnazaryan.
In his speech, member of the Fact-Finding Group Andranik Kocharyan recalled Sasun Mikayelyan who is currently in prison. Touching upon the events of March 1, he mentioned that for the first time, the government fired at the people and that that was a day of shame for the authorities. He also touched upon the activities of the Fact-Finding Group, which has revealed facts and has included them in 4 reports.
