ARE THREE MONTHS ENOUGH?

The Democratic Party of Armenia (HDK) at the head of Aram G. Sarkissian has released a statement which says in part,
“We are confident that the political crisis in the country is caused not by ideological debates over socio-economic, political, legal issues but by some people's overweening ambition to come to power.
As a result, most people have become aliens. The society is divided into protesters and people doing their utmost to protect their fortune amassed through illegal means. The logical outcome of the events were profound hatred and intolerance instilled among people. People standing in the background made use of the situation with their “devilish skills.” The pre- and post-election periods accompanied with innocent victims and tragic outcome imply taking the following steps,
uncover and give legal assessment to real wrongdoers on legal grounds. The initiators, provocateurs, key participants as well as high-rank officials engaged in the occurrences must stand trial. They were to avert the tragic events of March 1, exclude injustice, falsifications and partiality.
Public demands to launch an impartial and convincing investigation over the March 1 events and disclose the armed people who opened fire at the participants and law-enforcement bodies.
The delay of the investigation gives rise to rumours and intensifies the heated atmosphere. On the other hand, there are political figures among the detainees whose crime hasn't been proved over the past three months.
We believe that the authorities will be able to take drastic steps to overcome the crisis in case they are filled with willingness and determination to rectify former mistakes.
The HDK is ready to help direct the country onto the right and safe path if the gap between the past and the present still deepens,” holds the HDK statement.
