ArmInfo. Discussion of the draft  law "On compensation for damage to victims during the events of March  1, 2008" has been postponed.

To note the discussion of this bill was to take place on August 17 at  a meeting of the standing parliamentary commission on state legal  issues and human rights. As the head of the commission Gevorg  Kostanyan stated, the discussion was postponed due to the absence of  the main speaker, the head of the Yelk parliamentary faction Lena  Nazaryan. In addition, Kostanyan said that the wording of this law is  still being discussed in the government and has not yet been  finalized.

To recall after the presidential elections in Armenia in 2008, bloody  events occurred in Yerevan on March 1. A series of protests against  the results of the February 19 elections ended in clashes with law  enforcement agencies. As a result, more than 10 people died, about  230 people were injured. These events were not fully investigated,  and those responsible for the direct execution of the demonstrators  were never found.
