THERE IS NO ARMENIAN “TRACE” IN HAROUTYUNYAN’S CASE: ARMENIAN PM

TBILISI, JULY 25. ARMINFO. Armenia’s Prime Minister Andranik Margaryan
who is presently visiting Georgia says that there is no Armenian
“trace” in Vladimir Haroutyunyan’s case.

Russian media report him as saying that even though the suspect in the
May 10 terror act on Tbilisi Liberty Square is Armenian he is Georgian
citizen. This is by no means related to Armenia or the
Armenians. Haroutyunyan is Georgian citizen, says Margaryan.

To the remark that the grenade RGD-5 thrown in Bush’s direction was of
“Armenian manufacture” Margaryan says: “Why of Armenian manufacture –
may be of Chinese one?”

To remind, Haroutyunyan is now in the Tbilisi Republic Hospital with
four wounds he got during the arrest. His lawyer says that he is
feeling well and will probably be taken to the prison hospital this
evening. Haroutyunyan is sincerely mourning for the policeman killed
during the arrest skirmish and will not dispute the three-month
preliminary imprisonment verdict against him. He still refuses to
testify which is not proof of his guilt.
