Nikol Pashinyan answered press secretary of Robert Kocharyan

ArmInfo. Robert Kocharyan should give a clear explanation of where he got information that the demonstrators of the first of March left the car and shot at the policemen, "the head of the Elk faction Nikol Pashinyan stated in an interview with the radio" Azatutyun ", commenting on the statement of the press- Kocharyan's secretary Victor Soghomonyan that he (Pashinyan) is the organizer of the March 1 events.

"The issue of the first March events will not be closed until the names of the perpetrators of the murders are revealed, and if someone wants to investigate this matter, he should ask this simple question to Robert Kocharyan," Pashinyan said.

As for his participation in the events of the first of March, Pashinyan stated that it was public. "I have already stated that I am proud of the fact that I organized the opposition of the citizens of Armenia to the process of the coup d'etat of the Serzh-Kocharian regime, and for me it's an honor that I continue my activities now, and I will do it tomorrow," concluded the leader fraction "Yelk".

Earlier, Nikol Pashinyan appealed to the Prosecutor General of Armenia with a proposal to call for the second President of Armenia Robert Kocharian for interrogation in the case on the events of March 1, 2008. Pashinyan, in particular, was interested in the question of where Kocharyan had information that the rally participants were shooting at police officers because of one of the vehicles. In response to this, Viktor Soghomonyan, the head of the Robert Kocharian office, commented: "In recent days we have witnessed the most cynical phenomenon in the history of the third republic - when the main provoker of events on March 1, 2008 initiated hearings on this issue in the National Meeting and presided over them, sitting in the chair of the Speaker of Parliament. " It should be noted that after the presidential elections of 2008, at which the official victory was won by Serzh Sargsyan, the dissatisfied opposition, along with the protest electorate, took to the streets of Yerevan. As a result of the clash of protesters with the forces of law and order, 10 people were killed.
