As mentioned by NA PAP MP Naira Zohrabyan, the question is unanswered until now about why people fighting for their ideas died on March 1, 2008. “The question of bringing the true perpetrators of “March 1” to accountability is also unanswered. We owe to these innocent victims. The biggest tribute of respect to their memory will be that no such crimes recur. “March 1″ should not have happened in our country,” said she to the journalists after laying flowers at the Al. Myasnikyan statue.
According to Naira Zohrabyan, we should be able to form a legitimate government which will have confidence in the rear, and in the case of such a government, there will be no tragedies like “March 1.” Zohrabyan addressed also the question whether the issue of “March 1” is included in the election program of the “Tsarukyan” alliance. “I do not think that we should speak in a language of a ‘booklet’ to bring the perpetrators of “March 1″ to accountability; it should be on the daily agenda. It exists on the PAP party agenda as long as the question of why “March 1” happened exists,” replied Naira Zohrabyan. She informed that she had met with the family members of “March 1” victims, “I was talking to the father of deceased Samvel. He said it was important for them to form such a government that no “March 1” will occur. Those who allowed “March 1” happen in our country are the responsible for “March 1”.
