Relatives of March 1, 2008 events’ victims dissatisfied with Prescott and Colombier’s work


Relatives of March 1, 2008 events’ victims addressed a letter to PACE, expressing dissatisfaction with the conduct of co-rapporteurs John Prescott and Georges Colombier.

The position of PACE co-rapporteurs remains incomprehensible to relatives of tragic events’ victims.

“John Prescott and Georges Colombier are fully aware of Armenian authorities’ intention to conceal the names of people responsible for March 1, 2008 events. Nevertheless, the co-rapporteurs demand implementation of reforms stipulated by ad hoc Committee of the National Assembly of Armenia on March 1, 2008,” the statement said.

Statement authors offered raising the issue above at March 12 sitting of PACE Standing Committee in Paris.

They expressed a wish to meet the co-rapporters as soon as the latter visit Armenia.
