ArmInfo. It is well known that Oganovsky led the Artsakh people in Yerevan on March 1. Head of the United Armenia party Vahan Badasyan expressed a similar opinion to ArmInfo.
"It was he who oversaw their movement to and from Yerevan. He directed all their actions. This is far from known only to me. The current leadership of Armenia knows this; they saw it all with their own eyes, being participants in the events of March 1. This is known to the Police. And, of course, this is well known in Artsakh. So there is no secret and nothing new here, "he noted.
At the disposal of the Russian BBC service was the protocol for interrogation of the former deputy commander of the Karabakh Defense Army, Samvel Karapetyan (Oganovsky). According to investigators, Karapetyan formed a group of 20 from his subordinates. Then he housed it in the basement of the presidential residence. According to an article published by the BBC, the investigation claims that it was this group that shot the demonstrators during the post-election protests of the opposition on March 1-2, 2008.
According to Badasyan, quite a lot of people were deployed from Artsakh to suppress the protests that followed the 2008 presidential election in Yerevan to use force against protesters.
In this light, he turned to the Prosecutor General's Office with a report on the crime committed by Artsakh Presidents Arkady Ghukasyan and Bako Sahakyan on orders of Robert Kocharyan and his successor Serzh Sargsyan. "I know these facts. And the fact, who directly fired at the demonstrators will have to determine the investigation. People who issued such an order should be considered state criminals. In addition to the killings, a number of related crimes were committed during the same period. In this light, I consider it unacceptable to be positions of people involved in these crimes to one degree or another, "he stressed. In this light, Badasyan is convinced of the need to give an early assessment of the March 1 events, the role of all three presidents in these events, and to punish Robert Kocharyan for all crimes committed. According to him, it is precisely a clear assessment of what is happening that will allow the current leadership of Armenia to determine future priorities, both in domestic and foreign policy.
