ECM's statement: In the 1999 spring RA NA regular elections, the "Unity" bloc led by Sparapet Vazgen Sargsyan and Karen Demirchyan received the votes of the overwhelming majority of the voters with free and fair votes.
In fact, the people elected Vazgen Sargsyan the Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia, and Karen Demirchyan the Speaker of the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia.
Having the unconditional support of the ruling coalition, the government of General Vazgen Sargsyan immediately embarked on radical reforms in all spheres of the country's economic, political and social life, establishing order and order in the country, eradicating the phenomena of impunity, bribery and abuse.
In a short time, the forms and methods of the government's activities, the recorded results, inspired hope and faith in the future of the country among the broad circles of the people. Armenia started to talk with regional and other international partners on an equal footing. But on October 27, 1999, a group of criminals beheaded the "Unity" bloc in the NA hall: Prime Minister Vazgen Sargsyan, NA Speaker Karen Demirchyan, MPs and MPs were killed and wounded. members of the government.
The traces of the crime led to the presidential and political forces trusted by Kocharyan. Robert Kocharyan announced that everything was revealed and "this is Uchastkov's work." First the head of the presidential staff, then the deputy director of Public Television, the deputy representative of famous political circles were arrested and detained. As a result of the intrigues and manipulations carried out by the RA president and his supporters, the "Unity" alliance was disintegrated and split, the leadership of the army and the national guard was "bought" by lavishing general ranks and high military positions.
In the end, Kocharyan gathered all the executive, legislative and judicial power in his hands. In the spring of 2000, Robert Kocharyan dismissed Prime Minister Aram Sargsyan without any concern, and the government purged the executive from the officials who remained loyal to Vazgen Sargsyan and Karen Demirchyan. One after the other, the court released from custody the officials arrested on charges of inciting and aiding the commission of a terrorist act.
The main criminal repeatedly refused hundreds of pages of handwritten, personally signed, face-to-face testimony with the participation of the defense attorney. The General Prosecutor's Office opened a criminal case against the members of the investigative team for "the fact of committing fictitious abuses" and began to carry out active investigative and other judicial actions.
The RA military prosecutor, having no more political and power support, in an attempt to save his subordinates from illegal criminal prosecutions, sent to the court only charges against the perpetrators, keeping the part of organizers and facilitators in his proceedings, with the intention of proceeding under more favorable political conditions, however, after a short time, that part was demanded by the RA General prosecutor's office, where it was soon dismissed without a serious investigation. After the 2018 regime change, after petitions by the successors of the "October 27" victims, the dismissal of the case was eventually lifted and the preliminary investigation resumed.
25 years have passed since the crime of October 27, almost four years after the dismissal of the case, we have a new RA Prosecutor General, heads of investigative bodies. There are no more obstructing structures and officials in the RA law enforcement system.
Even a new foreign intelligence agency has been formed. YUM is always pursuing and demanding full disclosure of the murders of President, Prime Minister Vazgen Sargsyan, Speaker of the National Assembly Karen Demirchyan and others.
Without the complete disclosure of the crime of October 27, the identification and prosecution of all the culprits, the state of Armenia and its future will remain in danger.
