YEREVAN, JUNE 4, NOYAN TAPAN. "Time showed that being nominated by
political forces, fact-finding committee members, unfortunately, failed
to get free of their political agenda and act as independent experts,
a circumstance, without which fact-finding committee’s existence
becomes problematic, which, in its turn, led to the current atmosphere
in the committee and in essence, failure of committee’s activity,"
RA President’s Spokesperson Samvel Farmanian said answering Radio
Liberty’s question.
He said that formation of an independent fact-finding committee
of experts was the manifestation of RA President’s political will
and efficient cooperation with European structures. According to
S. Farmanian, the authorities were convinced that the fact-finding
committee established outside official circles and consisting of
independent experts could meet public expectations and provide serious
assistance to the NA Ad-hoc Committee in the issue of revealing the
causes of the the 2008 March 1-2 incidents.
