Today, at the meeting of the investigative committee set up
\nby the NA, Former Defense Minister Davit Tonoyan, who is under arrest, called
\non the Opposition members to at least take part in the closed meeting as he had
\nsomething to say, which according to him would interest the Opposition
\nmembers. <\/p>\n
“We have already expressed our position regarding our
\nparticipation in the activities of the investigative committee under the NA,
\nwhich in fact is not investigative in nature, but is aimed at drawing a veil
\nover the truth about the war. And this position of ours is not subject to
\nchange,” ARF member, MP Kristine Vardanyan from the opposing NA Armenia
\nalliance said this to ABC Media.<\/p>\n
<\/p><\/p>\n
According to MP Kristine Vardanyan, they do not participate
\nin the meeting of the investigative committee on the grounds that Nikol
\nPashinyan and his team cannot carry out the investigation of their own actions.
\nMoreover, they cannot do it impartially. <\/p>\n
<\/p><\/p>\n
“Our participation or non-participation is not
\ndetermined by the names of officials attending the meeting of the investigative
\ncommittee,” Vardanyan noted.<\/p>\n
<\/p><\/p>\n
Referring to Tonoyan’s statement, the MP added: “I do
\nnot think that Davit Tonoyan is someone who can present Dashnaktsutyun with an
\nultimatum. He had better say if he upholds his position taken right after the
\nwar. He used to fully justify Nikol Pashinyan’s actions. If he has something to
\nsay, he is given the chance to do that now. After all, instead of impartially
\nexpressing his point of view, what he does seems to be aimed at legitimizing
\nthe activities of the committee and justifying Nikol Pashinyan’s actions. <\/p>\n
<\/p><\/p>\n
As Vardanyan noted, instead of referring to the ARF and the
\nRPA, Davit Tonoyan has to refer to a number of other issues. <\/p>\n
“He had better mention who the actual guilty party is.
\nInstead, he helps to absolve the guilty party of every responsibility,”
\nthe MP concluded.<\/p>\n
<\/p><\/p>\n
In response to ABC Media’s question, MP Hayk Mamijanyan from
\nthe opposing NA With Honor faction, refused to comment on Davit Tonoyan’s
\nstatement. He noted that they had already announced their decision not to
\nparticipate in the meeting of the investigative committee twice. According to
\nthe MP, their decision has not changed either. They are not going to attend the
\nmeetings of the committee investigating the 44-day war.<\/p>\n
