RPA member: shifting blame for March 2008 events solely on authorities immoralApril 21, 2011 - 13:37 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - A member of the ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) parliamentary group believes it immoral to shift the blame for March 1-2, 2008 events solely on the Armenian authorities. As Manvel Badeyan told a news conference in Yerevan, “clearly, Serzh Sargyan, who wasn’t a president at the time cannot be held responsible. It’s also obvious that the events couldn’t but involve the second Armenian president; however, both sides, the authorities and the opposition, as well as the increasingly intolerant society have their own share of fault.” As Badeyan remarked, to discover March 2008 events, both the authorities and the opposition must show political will.
