Last Thursday PACE co-rapporteurs welcomed Armenia's response to their call for a "roadmap" to put into effect the reforms recommended in the aftermath of the March 2008 election violence.
The relatives of the March 1st ten victims consider the co-rapporteurs' step immoral.
"How can they speak of a roadmap if none of the murderers of the ten victims has been disclosed or examined to date? I mean the four policemen using Cheryomukha-7 gas-powered gun during the clashes of March 1, 2008," said Alla Hovhannisyan, the mother of perished Tigran Khachatryan.
The relatives are not encouraged by the authorities promises on the roadmap or the co-rapporteurs' statements. "The co-rapporteurs deliberately turn a blind eye on the ten murders. I am convinced that they have concluded a bargain with the Armenian authorities but I cannot say on which issues."
"The co-rapporteurs have already cheated us in Yerevan. I believe none of their words," said Jemma Vardumyan, the mother of David Petrosyan.
"My son was an ordinary serviceman and the authorities are obliged to reveal his murder. How can they give promises if they say the "page" of March 1 is closed?" said Ruzanna Harutyunyan, the mother of Tigran Abgaryan.
Gor Kloyan's father, Sargis Kloyan, does not take the statements of international structures seriously.
"The co-rapporteurs welcome Armenian authorities as they want to leave Armenia with a sack of money," said Mr. Kloyan who is convinced that none of the murders will be disclosed by the acting authorities.
"Neither President Serzh Sargsyan, nor Minister of Justice Ministry Gevorg Danelyan and head of the Armenian delegation to PACE Davit Harutiunian have a right to participate in the international forum of International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) due in Yerevan on April 6-8," added the relatives.
FIDH President Souhayr Belhassen is scheduled to meet with the relatives of the ten victims on April 5.
