The leadership of the National Assembly, members of Government,
Deputies and Staff laid flowers at the memorial to the victims of
October 27, paying tribute to the memory of the victims of the terrible
events at the National Assembly eight years ago.

`Eight years have passed after the tragedy, when we lost our best
friends, but I think the pain and regret have not reduced during these
years. We have only one consolation: the aims we cherished together are
being realized, the problems are being solved, and the country we
wished to have is being built step-by-step. This is what can further us
and somewhat relieve the pain,’ NA Speaker Tigran Torosyan told
journalists.

Tigran Torosyan noted that he does not share the opinion that the path
of the republic changed after October 27. He said the step-by-step
realization of the purposes is an achievement of the Republican Party
and the Armenian authorities as a whole.

As for the revelation of the organizers of the crime, NA Speaker
expressed hope that everything has been done to fully disclose the
crime. However, in any country it may take many years and decades to
disclose some crimes. `Thus, I think that only those who are aware of
the details of the case can give assessment to the disclosure of this
grave tragedy. But I want to underline once again that I’m hopeful
everything has been done to unveil the case.’

Let us remind that on October 27 NA Speaker Karen Demirchian, Prime
Minister Vazgen Sargsyan, NA Vice-Speakers Yuri Bakhshyan and Ruben
Miroyan, MPs Michael Kotanyan, Armenak Armenakyan, Henrik Abrahamyan
and Minister Leonard Petrosyan fell victims of the bloody tragedy.
