Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has announced that he is interested in the March 1 case. "But that interest is tenfold more of a constraint for me, so that it doesn't happen that I am the prime minister and I exert influence due to that status, which is also problematic."
He noted that he is happy with the ECHR decision in the March 1 case. "We have dilemmas: how do we protect democracy, so that we don't establish a dictatorship under the guise of protecting democracy. These are serious dilemmas," he said.
According to the Prime Minister, the March 1 criminal cases are public. "Everything is described: the formation of illegal groups, their payments, who gave money to whom, and how they gave it. Another thing is that all this must be recorded legally in the judicial sphere."
The Prime Minister stated that he disagreed with Robert Kocharyan's acquittal.
"But do we want the institutional establishment of the state or not? The decisions of the ECHR should be a serious signal that our judicial system has significant problems. I tried to block the court, I tried to make a revolution through the judicial system, objectively or subjectively it did not work, but that does not mean that we should not continue," Pashinyan said.
Let us recall that the ECHR had recorded that during the events of March 1, 2008, the state violated the right to life of its citizens and failed to fulfill its obligation to conduct an adequate investigation.
