Just as when bringing the charge, I assert now, too, that it is unfounded, and I do not accept it.

Former Minister of Defense of Armenia Seyran Ohanyan noted the abovementioned in a Facebook post.

“I have the impression that there are underground figures who, mastering various manipulative tricks, playing with people’s emotions, use the March 1[, 2008] tragedy and the memory of the victims for their own conspiratory and far-reaching, unknown objectives,” Ohanyan added, in particular.

As reported earlier, Seyran Ohanyan has been charged along the lines of the criminal case into what had occurred in capital city Yerevan, in March 2008. 

On March 1 and 2, 2008 the then authorities of Armenia used force against the opposition members who were rallying in downtown Yerevan, and against the results of the presidential election on February 19, 2008. Eight demonstrators as well as two servicemen of the internal troops were killed in the clashes. But no one had been brought to account for these deaths, to this day.
