Armenian authorities are lying about their inability to discover the truth behind March 1, 2008 events, the former judge advocate of Armenia said.
As Gagik Jangiryan stated at National Congress (ANC) opposition bloc rally in Yerevan, the authorities’ efforts to discover March 2008 events are a mere imitation.
According to Gangiryan, beside Armenian police and armed forces, the Nagorno Karabakh special purpose police units were involved in March 2008 events.
From February 20, 2008, the Armenian opposition led by first president Levon Ter-Petrossian, who ran for presidency in 2008, but was not elected, held rallies in the central part of Yerevan, protesting against the election results. The protest actions resulted in unrest and clashes between the police and rally participants on March 1-2. According to the Office of RA Prosecutor General, around 200 people were injured, 10 people were killed, and over 100 people were arrested.
