MEMBER OF POLITICAL COUNCIL OF REPUBLIC PARTY DETAINED

About an hour ago member of the political council of the Republic party
Romik Mkhitaryan was detained. The Republic party announces that the
prosecutions started since the day of the first tour of the presidential
election in 2003, when Mikhitaryan was kept under arrest during 15 days.

To remind, Romik Mkhitaryan coordinated the office of an opposition
candidate in Shengavit, where Robert Kocharyan lost in the first tour. Then
a new wave of prosecutions began on February 15, 2004.
