Two years pass since major fatal clash between authorities and demonstrators in Amenia's modern history - PHOTOS

That day, the police came down upon the demonstrators holding twenty-four-hour protests against the 2008 presidential election results on Azatutyun square.

The police dispersed the protestors through use of force. Thereafter, thousands of protestors gathered near the Myasnikyan monument.

Later at night, the authorities called in the military and applied arms on the defenseless demonstrators, killing 10 people and wounding many others.

To date, the assassins’ paymasters are not detected, though names of four policemen firing at three victims are known.

The authorities say March 1 case is closed, whereas the opposition and victims’ relatives declare unless the guilty are exposed and punished, the issue cannot be dismissed.
