Eduard Sharmazanov says victims of Oct 27, 1999 see from above that Armenia has chosen a right path to move forward

YEREVAN, OCTOBER 27, ARMENPRESS:

October 27, 1999 is one of the painful pages of Armenia's newest history: prime minister, NA chairman, members of parliament were shot down, secretary of the Republican Party of Armenia faction Eduard Sharmazanov said speaking to Armenpress. "We must keep the memory of the victims bright and with our work we must show them that Armenia has chosen a right path to move forward. Everything must be done so that extremism, intolerance, such like terrorist acts not take place here," the parliamentarian said. He voiced hope that no country will ever face such terrorism act.

"In general, when an Armenian raises hand on the Armenian, it is mean. Unfortunately, mean people exist. It is greater pain for our party as we have lost our leader Vazgen Sargsyan, party members Yuri Bakhshyan, Armenak Armenakyan, and others," Sharmazanov said, adding that they all had serious contribution to the reinforcement of our reality.

Twelve years ago, this day, eight state figures - Prime Minister Vazgen Sargsyan, NA Chairman Karen Demirchyan, Vice Chairmen Yuri Bakhshyan and Ruben Miroyan, Minister of Operative Affairs Leonard Petrosyan, members of parliament Armenak Armenakyan, Henrik Abrahamyan and Mikhael Kotanyan were murdered.
