Ethnically-Armenian Bush attacker pledges to escape

Baku, August 18, AssA-Irada — Ethnically-Armenian individual accused
of an assassination attempt on US President George Bush and murder
of a police officer has said he will try to escape from the hospital
where he is kept, Georgian media quoted the country’s interior ministry
as saying.

While in hospital, Vladimir Arutyunian has repeatedly attempted to
hurt himself. A special video camera has been installed at Arutunian’s
cell to oversee his actions.

Arutyunian was detained in Tbilisi, Georgia on July 21. The 27-year
old individual faces several charges, including an attempt to commit
a terror act, murder, illegal possession and use of weapons.

Arutyunian admitted that on May 10, immediately after his arrest,
he threw a hand grenade to the rostrum where President Bush and his
Georgian counterpart Mikhail Saakashvili stood. He added that he would
‘continue attempts’ on Bush’s life ‘if he had a chance’.*

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
