YEREVAN, JUNE 4, NOYAN TAPAN. "Time showed that being nominated by political forces, fact-finding committee members, unfortunately, failed to get free of their political agenda and act as independent experts, a circumstance, without which fact-finding committee's existence becomes problematic, which, in its turn, led to the current atmosphere in the committee and in essence, failure of committee's activity," RA President's Spokesperson Samvel Farmanian said answering Radio Liberty's question. He said that formation of an independent fact-finding committee of experts was the manifestation of RA President's political will and efficient cooperation with European structures. According to S. Farmanian, the authorities were convinced that the fact-finding committee established outside official circles and consisting of independent experts could meet public expectations and provide serious assistance to the NA Ad-hoc Committee in the issue of revealing the causes of the the 2008 March 1-2 incidents.
