The press service of the Prosperous Armenia Party (BHK) states that
none of BHK Leader Gagik Tsarukyan’s acquaintances had any connection
with last year’s unrest in Yerevan City.

Members of the disbanded fact-finding group Andranik Kocharyan and
Seda Safaryan announced that during the March 1 events some
high-ranking officials and MPs had been given military uniforms and
clear orders to incite arsons and plunder in the capital. Gagik
Tsarukyan’s name was among the aforesaid high-ranking officials.

BHK’s press service denies the rumours and says they do not correspond
to reality.

"None of Gagik Tsarukyan’s acquaintances was engaged in the March 1
disturbance. The authors of the rumours try to divert public attention
from the real perpetrators of the March 1 tragedy and defame Gagik
Tsarukyan," says a BHK release.
