“It is clear that the ad-hoc Committee on March 1 issues would not give anything, no disclosure was to happen, because what the evidence collection group did, in fact, came close to revealing the reality, everything is already evident, there is no secret that the command was issued by Kocharyan, and Serzh Sargsyan also agreed with shootings, the political back was held by RPA, PAP, ARF and the Rule of Law. All of these is evident, there is nothing to reveal. Now a question arises as to why the authorities did not want to be in favor of this initiative, or why the opposition forces are trying to establish the Committee right now,” such opinion was made by Petros Makeyan, President of “Democratic Homeland”, in the conversation with Aravot.am on March 11, referring to establishment of March 1 Committee. Recall that the issue of establishing an ad-hoc Committee on March 1 issues was not passed by the National Assembly with voting of 46 pro, 66 cons and 1 abstained. RPA is saying that ANC wants to make a show, the ANC is saying that the Republicans are trying to elude from sensational revelations, whose arguments are acceptable for you, Mr. Makeyan responded, “I would not say that the Republicans want to evade.
They have nothing to refrain from, they have reached the point that they know that they’ve done, and they say to everything, “we did it right and when you go out to the street again, we will do it again.” The Republicans have no problem with it. Now, the Republicans are just refraining from the noise that is constantly repeated: March 1, victims …. They refrain from this. Otherwise, it is clear for them what had happened on March 1st. I am surprised that my former partners are taking the step for the dividends, to establish a committee, in which every speech and every discussion may hurt the relatives of March 1 victims, those who are affected. Nothing else it was going to give.” To our question of whether, in short, it was a show, he replied, “I think so, if my so-called ex-partners are trying to get some dividends, so it is just what you’re saying. However, the authorities also refrain from this petty noise, from recurrence of March 1. Otherwise, everything is revealed, everything is known, it remains to give legal assessment, and the judgments of the Court, starting from Robert Kocharyan and ending with the rest of political servants.”
