ArmInfo. ARF Dashnaktsutyun party will do its best for no political
prisoners to be in Armenia, vice speaker of RA Parliament, member
of ARF Dashnaktsutyun party faction Hrayr Karapetyan said at today’s
press-conference in "Tesaket" club.

‘We experienced it several years ago and in much more cruel way>,
he said.

He recalled that it is scheduled to create a temporary commission in
the Parliament on investigation of March 1 events. Karapetyan expressed
confidence that the Commission will do its best for no arrested
person to be condemned for political reasons. As Karapetyan said,
‘those guilty of crimes and, first of all, of the death of peoples,
should be made accountable’.

He also said that one of the questions to be answered by the Temporary
Commission, is determination of the degree of adequacy of the Police
actions on March 1. He also emphasized that if a relevant law is
passed concerning the Commission’s activity, it may also summon the
former top officials responsible for the decisions taken on March 1,
including ex-President of Armenia Robert Kocharyan and ex-Head of RA
Police Hayk Harutyunyan.
