27/08/2008

Yesterday the temporary NA committee on examining the events of March 1-2 hosted witnesses from the Liberty Square Gagik Shamshyan and Gohar Veziryan from the Chorrord Ishkhanutyun newspaper. Till yesterday the committee has only invited the officials and policemen but no witnesses. The chairman of the committee Samvel Nikoyan was interested in what time the police attacked the protesters in the morning of March 1. Let us remember that the deputy chief of police Alexander Afyan stated on August 5 that the police was moved to the Liberty Square at 6:45 a.m. but the operation started at 7 a.m. Later on August 8 the head of the intelligence department of the police Hovhannes Tamamyan also stated that the police entered the square at 7 a.m. But the witnessing journalists yesterday said that the police entered at 6:25. As evidence Shahmshyan promised to provide Nikoyan with photographs of the events shot by him. The photograph shows that the attack was made before dawn and it was still dark in the picture. Besides that the time is fixed.
