Mother identified her son's body on YouTube video
Last week, YouTube posted a video named "Samvel Harutyunyan's shooting, March 1, 2008" which has become a hotly debated topic in Armenia.
After watching the video Alla Hovhannisyan, the mother of March 1 victim Tigran Khachatryan, became sure that the footage shows the murder of her son.
"The body lying beside a big vehicle belongs to Tigran. I recognized his white shirt and white sports shoes," Alla Hovhannisyan told A1+.
"The cries heard in the footage belong to the person who stood beside Tigran and saw his murder," she continued.
The victim's mother is confident that the ten murders of the 2008 post-election clashes will not be disclosed by the acting authorities.
"Three months have passed since Serzh Sargsyan assigned to renew the probe into the March 1 bloody clashes but there has been no progress on the matter. We have never confided in these authorities. We are confident that they will subvert the dialogue with the opposition. The time will come when everyone will understand that this is only a good show by the authorities," she said.
"The co-rapporteurs of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) are scheduled to arrive in Yerevan in the summer. We have planned a series of protest actions to present the unpalatable truth to them. With their empty promises, the authorities cause us more pain," said Alla Hovhannisyan.
