NEW TIMES PARTY BECOMES ANOTHER VICTIM OF POLITICAL HARASSMENT

New Times party leader Artak Yeghiazaryan was arrested in Armenian town of
Armavir near his home.

Two hours later he was charged with insulting policemen and sentenced to
five days in jail.

The party says the illegal arrest of Yeghiazaryan is a politically motivated
step and condemns persecution of political activists.
