Sargsyan: trial over those guilty of Yerevan disorders will be transparentMarch 12, 2008 - 18:57 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Those guilty of March 1 disorders will account for their deeds, RA Prime Minister and President-elect Serzh Sargsyan said at a meeting with students on March 12. "The court verdict might be mild and President can grant a pardon but people should know who plotted and perpetrated the crimes. The trial will be transparent," he said, adding that people will decide the fate of Armenia's first President Levon Ter-Petrosyan. Asked whether Levon Ter-Petrosyan will be arrested, the PM said, "Hearsay that Ter-Petrosyan will be arrested soon does not correspond to the truth. However, those who say that the authorities will not dare to arrest him are mistaken. I am neither a judge nor a prosecutor and will never interfere in their activities. But you will certainly witness historical assessment of the current events," he said, IA Regnum reports.
