IF DAVIS WERE ARMENIAN
CE Secretary General Terry Davis told “A1” today that he keeps asking the same question to the Armenian authorities, but hasn’t received a convincing response.
“I would like to know what the Armenian authorities are doing to reveal the people who committed the murders during the events in Yerevan. I condemn the murders committed by the police and the other murders,” said the Secretary General.
According to Davis, a committee for the inquiry of the circumstances of the tragedy of March 1 has been established, but Davis says that if he were Armenian, he would ask the police why they are not involved in the inquiry.
“After all, it is their obligation.”
Terry Davis expressed concern today about pluralism in Armenia and the fact that “A1+” is not aired.
