Today it’s already obvious that the disorders of March 1 were of
organized nature, and those who try to dispute the topic of political
prisoners will get deeply disappointed, RA President Robert Kocharyan
told reporters today.

According to him, the chronology of most events has been restored
minute by minute, and those who are trying to dispute the topic of
political prisoners, will be deeply disappointed to get familiar with
the materials the investigative group is collecting today.

In response to the question about the possible dialogue with Levon
Ter-Petrosyan, the President said: "The calls for dialogue with Levon
Ter-Petrosyan are not addressed to me. I’m not ready for any dialogue
and I think that people who have committed criminally punishable
deeds must be held accountable by law."

Robert Kocharyan did not out rule out that for this or that reason
the President-Elect, the new Government and parliamentary forces may
discuss the opportunity for such a dialogue. However, it is first
necessary to clarify the framework of such a dialogue: with whom and
on what issues.

Commenting on the possibility of holding extraordinary parliamentary
elections, Robert Kocharyan noted "it is the most absurd idea proposed
recently. The necessity of holding such elections emerges in case the
parliament is unable to work." According to the President’s assessment,
there are few parliaments today that "work as effectively as ours."

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
