YEREVAN. – Either Armenians will achieve punishment of those guilty of March 1 events or we are not a nation, ANC parliamentary group secretary Aram Manukyan told the participants of the opposition rally. 

Manukyan said investigation into March 1 events is not only a political issue but a matter of dignity.

“Whenever it happens, the crimes must be solved. The same refers to October 27 Armenian parliament shooting,” he emphasized.

Manukyan informed of police actions preventing residents of the regions from entering the capital city, at the same time adding that one cannot stop “civil movement”.

A rally dedicated to the sixth anniversary of the March 1, 2008 events is being held in Liberty Square. Leader of ANC and first president Levon Ter-Petrosyan  is expected to address the demonstrators.

As a result of clashes between authorities and opposition, 8 demonstrators and 2 law enforcers were killed on March 1, 2008. No one has been held accountable for their deaths.
