LAW ENFORCERS DON’T WORK WELL WITH THE «NEW TIMES»

After the regional meetings of the party `New Times’ which has started a
national revolution the law enforcers have searched the houses of the NT
members and questioned them. Today the leader of the party Aram Karapetyan
was expected to meet the journalists but only the political council
secretaries Edik Grigoryan and Emanuel Margaryan were present at the
announces press conference. They complained from the attitude of the
policemen and public prosecutors.

Edik Grigoryan was especially worried by the fact that the representatives
of the party were called to be questioned without summons, as it is
envisages by the law. According to him, today 13 members and 9 cars
including that serving Aram Karapetyan are in the law enforcement
department. And Aram Karapetyan was not present at the press conference as
he was called by the Sevan prosecutor and had not been fully questioned by
3:00 p.m.

Edik Grigoryan told the journalists in every detail about the actions of the
law enforcers towards the heads, members, drivers of the party and their
families. His aim was to let the public know by means of Mass Media that by
the order of the authorities the law enforcers have started an unregulated
struggle against the New Times Party.

As for the notice of the `Armenian Times’ that the authorities have
condemned the Sevan incident and criticize the encroachments against NT,
Edik Grigoryan said, `The Coalition parties are not in charge of power
structures’.
