The RA Prosecutor’s Office officially declares: "None of the victims
of 1 March events have been recognized injured, consequently there
are no legal successors included in the case."

The declaration refers to 1 March events and the criminal case
No 62202608 that is currently under inquisition in the Special
Investigation Service.

The Prosecutor’s Office made the statement in the official letter
directed to the Chairman of the Helsinki Association Michael
Danielian in reply to the latter’s 11 May application. "I put a
query to the Prosecutor how many people were sued on the occasion of
1 March events, how many were recognized injured and how many legal
successors there were."

Michael Danielian was unable to explain the answer of the Prosecutor’s
Office. To be more exact, his power of imagination was not great
enough to fancy that a dead person can be recognized uninjured. "I
have been a lawyer for more than 10 years but it’s the first time
I have received such an answer. It means the authorities are quite
unwilling to unveil the 1 March occurrences."

To prove the truthfulness of his words, Michael Danielian handed
the Prosecutor’s reply to the co-repporteurs. He also noted that if
the co-repporteurs were really eager to see Armenia on the track of
democracy they had to impose sanctions on her and take care that the
PACE Resolution 1609 is thoroughly completed. Otherwise Armenia will
remain a military country.
