“NOR ZHAMANAKNER” PRESIDENT STATES THAT CLIENT OF ATTACK ON HIS GUARD
IS COUNTRY PRESIDENT

YEREVAN, APRIL 28, NOYAN TAPAN. “Nor Zhamanakner” (New Times) party
Chairman Aram Karapetian characterizes the April 21 attack on his
guard as a “political brigandage.” As he stated at the April 27
meeting with journalists at the “Pastark” club, such a line of actions
is characteristical to “third-rate” countries and has a goal to
frighten a politician and his surrounding. Unlike other countries,
where the police is used for similar cases, in this case, according to
Karapetian, the elite detachment of the National Security Service was
put in operation. “I would not like to speak about the professionalism
of the people implementing the action, as by it, we’ll give possibility
to real terrorists to understand defects of our anti-terrorism
sphere,” the “Nor Zhamanakner” Chairman mentioned. Karapetian stated
that according to his data, the client of the attack was the political
heads of the country. According to him, after watching the videotape
shot by the National Security Service, President of the country Robert
Kocharian said that “Aram Karapetian is a difficult case.” According
to the latter, such actions of the authorities “are a consequence of
the political agony and may raise only laugh of serious politicians.”
Responding the question if he did not organize the above-mentioned
case, Aram Karapetian mentioned: “If I may buy Serge Sargsian’s decree
and the whole administration of the National Security, then I must
only implement inauguration.” On the occasion of the guard members’
body injuries got as a result of the case the party addressed to the
forensic doctor. The latter demanded to present a corresponding apply
from the Prosecutor’s Office. But they did not manage to get such an
apply from the Erebuni community, Yerevan city as well as RA
Prosecutor’s General Office. The “Nor Zhamankner” party had to shoot
the consequences of the case and send it on laser disk to foreign
embassies.
