The case of March 1 will be revealed when the “Yelk” will come to power and create a “commission of truth,” said the leader of “Bright Armenia” party (the “Yelk” alliance), a parliamentarian Edmon Marukyan to the journalists during the march dedicated to the commemoration of “March 1” victims.

In his description, the current authorities had the chance to reveal the perpetrators while there are no convicted until now, “Unless a “commission of truth” offered by us is not formed and no revelations are made, the problem will constantly remain open.”  According to Marukyan, it is wrong to remember about this tragedy of 2008 from elections to elections, “We have never used these incidents to win dividends.”

Note, mass protests were held in Armenia, after presidential elections on 2008. The protests were organized by the supporters of the First President of Republic of Armenia Levon Ter-Petrosian. During the protest held on March 1st, 2008, clashes broke out between police and protesters. President Robert Kocharyan declared 20-day state of emergency.
