The report on March 1, 2008 events, provided by OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights, states serious violations of human rights during legal proceedings, Armenian National Congress (ANC) coordinator Levon Zurabyan said.

As he told a news conference in Yerevan, OSCE report on March 1, 2008 events reveals that representatives of opposition were wrongfully convicted. “Unfortunately, the report is belated. If published earlier, OSCE report could have made significant influence on legal proceedings,” he noted.

As ANC coordinator stated, yesterday’s meeting between former RA president, ANC leader Levon Ter-Petrossian and OSCE PA President Joao Soares focused on Karabakh issue. “The opposition expressed its disagreement over stationing of observers, instead of peacemaking forces, as observers will be unable to guarantee the safety of NKR people,” Levon Zurabyan stressed.

Commenting on international process of Armenian Genocide recognition, Zurabyan noted that US recognition plays a major role in the process.

Dwelling on internal issues, Zurabyan noted that increase of gas tariffs can lead to social tension in Armenia.
