Armen Arutyunyan, Ombudsman in Armenia, said, in his comments on
the report, published on September 17, of the interim parliamentary
commission for studying the events on March 1, 2008, in Yerevan,
when the authorities dispersed mass actions of the opposition, that
the actions of power agents had been approached too mildly.

Mr Arutyunyan has noted that the commission could have shown a greater
severity in relation to the Prosecutor’s Office, Special Investigatory
Service and the police. According to his story, the commission’s report
raised proper issues, however, the descriptive part looks biased.

In the opinion of the Ombudsman, the report of the interim commission
makes a positive statement that the reasons of what happened were
systemic, and the authorities of the country are the main guilty party.
