I WILL TRUST THE SENTENCE PASSED FOR NAIRI HUNANIAN AND HIS SUPPORTERS, PARUIR HAYRIKIAN STATED
YEREVAN, February 15. /Mediamax/. "The court examination of the "October 27" case begins today, and I have heard irresponsible statements of several mass media, as if Hayrikian was ready to "shoot" Karen Demirchian and Vazgen Sarkisian. But from the first minute of the tragedy we sharply criticized all the actions of Hunanian and his supporters", the chairman of the commission for human rights defense at the President of Armenia, ex-leader of "Self-Determination" (SD) union Paruir Hayrikian said today at a press conference in Yerevan.
"I must remind that from the very first day SD has spoken against the policy which Demirchian and Sarkisian pursued, nevertheless, I highly assessed these people despite their activity in the years of the existence of USSR", Hayrikian said.
He also noted that as a politician he has given his principle assessment to the happened, but he doesn't want to go into details of the case.
"The case was primordially revealed, however, I will accept the sentence, which the court will pass, as an official sentence against any display of violence and terror," the SD leader stressed. -0-
