What guarantee does Prescott have?
The parents of the victims of March 1 left disappointed after the meeting with Co-Rapporteur of the PACE Monitoring Committee on Armenia John Prescott.
Prescott promised them that he would deliver a report a short while after his meetings in Armenia.
Prescott mainly left all of the parents' questions unanswered. Tigran Khachatryan's mother, Alla Hovhannisyan was surprised by the behavior of the Armenian authorities and John Prescott.
"No murder has been revealed, the PACE is shutting its eyes on all this and Armenia is getting ready for new elections. After all this, what guarantee does the PACE have that the upcoming elections will be better than the previous ones and that there won't be victims?" Hovhannisyan said.
"He kept telling us he had no time and that he had to meet with the prosecutor general. He said he knew everything and that he shared our pain, but the parents left with a feeling of indignation," Gor Kloyan's father, Sargis Kloyan told "A1+".
Tigran Khachatryan's mother added that this was simply a formal meeting with the parents since the parents had told Prescott that they would organize a protest, if the meeting was not held.
The meeting with Prescott lasted 25 minutes, but the parents and their attorneys weren't able to express their concerns.
The attorneys of the victims' successors were also discontent with the meeting with Prescott and didn't even comment on it.
Attorney Artak Zeynalyan summed it up by saying that "Mr. Prescott was running out of time".
