    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am addressing myself to the proposed amendment, which proposes that no investigations be done; that whatever has happened has happened. However, the same people who are proposing to do away with this do not want recommendations that suggest that investigations be carried out. They are the loudest to shout that the Government must investigate about Armenians and others. How do you turn and twist at the same time? Are we becoming chameleons? When it is convenient, we shout this way. When it is not, we open our mouths loudest this other direction. Let us be compassionate about this matter. There is nothing personal. If we expunge the entire report, including the investigations carried out, we, as a House, will be judged harshly by history. This happened in this very House in 2004 and the consequences have lived for all of us to see. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to appeal to the House to reject the proposed amendments. Indeed, how can we expunge the whole recommendation about investigations? We, as a Committee, and as Parliament, are acknowledging the fact that we do not have the power and the capacity to investigate. That power is with the Executive. Strangely, we are July 27, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2455 now being told there is need to investigate. We all know the report by the KACC will be out in their fourth quarter in December, 2006. In fact, this House does not want to be told anything."
