The President of the Nationwide Meeting, Alen Simonyan, referred to the occasions of March 1 in his Telegram channel.
“Early within the morning of March 1, 2008, Gevorg Altunyan known as me and stated that the individuals have been dispersed. I shortly bought dressed and went to the intersection of Mashtots-Tumanyan streets. I stood on the sidewalk of the Stepan Shahumyan college and watched what was occurring on the other sidewalk.
I didn’t imagine that I might witness such a factor. how within the middle of Yerevan, the helmeted Armenian guys are overtly attacking and beating Armenian individuals with explicit brutality. Perhaps it isn’t so uncommon on this merciless world now, however for me, my 28-year-old son, it was a horror, I simply could not imagine that such a factor was doable.
Then Mariam got here, and we have been within the streets all day. Gevorg and I attempted to place out a burning Willys automotive close to the Sundukyan theater, then Nikol got here (I did not know him personally on the time), then we met Vigen Khachatryan (Vigen Surenich), and he was by my facet all night time, he would not allow us to stroll previous the statue of Myasnikyan, collectively we have been up and nonetheless could not imagine that photographs have been being fired within the sky within the background of the Yerevan Municipality.
Then Armenian killed Armenian, 10 individuals died, many individuals have been injured. All that for one factor, for the federal government to maintain its “seat”. Blood, demise, lives of Armenian individuals to protect the “chair”!
On that day, I decided for myself that both I’ll go away Armenia as soon as and for all, or I’ll do all the pieces in order that one thing like this by no means occurs once more.”
