This was stated by Armenian Revolutionary Federation (Dashnaktsutyun, or ARF-D) MP Aghvan Vardanyan (pictured) at a briefing in Armenia&#39;s parliament today. When he was asked if he agrees with fellow MP Alexander Arzoumanian when <a href=\"http:\/\/www.epress.am\/en\/2014\/02\/27\/it-remains-only-for-robert-kocharian-to-demand-march-1-killings-be-solved-mp.html\"><span style=\"color:#0000CD;\"><strong>he said<\/strong><\/span><\/a>&nbsp;the events of March 1 won&#39;t be uncovered as long as the Republican Party of Armenia (HHK) remains in power, Vardanyan said this is not that issue for which a change of regime is required.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t&quot;It&#39;s time to turn the political page on March 1. As a political page, we must bypass this page, but the victims&#39; legal successors must be compensated,&quot; said the ARF-D MP.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tJournalists reminded the deputy that Arzoumanian yesterday also accused the ARF-D, stating that all parliamentary factions except for the Armenian National Congress and the Heritage Party participated in concealing the events of March 1, 2008.&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t&quot;I didn&#39;t hear him accusing [us] in covering up [the events], but if such a thing was said, he is sadly mistaken. Our representative worked night and day in the Nikoyan Commission [set up to investigate the events of March 1, 2008]. There can be no accusation against the Dashnaktsutyun. The only thing spoken about was that after March 1, the ARF-D was part of the [ruling] coalition, and that&#39;s another story,&quot; he said.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tVardanyan mentioned that he won&#39;t be participating in the March 1 rally organized by the Armenian National Congress at Liberty Square tomorrow.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tRecall, on Mar. 1&ndash;2, 2008, the forceful dispersal of peaceful protests of supporters of unsuccessful opposition presidential candidate, Armenian National Congress leader Levon Ter-Petrossian resulted in the death of 10 people and the arrest of hundreds of opposition members.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the case of March 1, everything is disclosed \u2014 there remains only one question: who was killed from whose bullet? <!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":249770,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tstyn_error":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[53234,51582,11606,12179,53555],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/249794"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=249794"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/249794\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/249770"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=249794"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=249794"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=249794"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
