Armenian President Robert Kocharian ordered the republican law
enforcement agencies to solve the murder of a general of the tax
service as quick as possible, Kocharian’s spokesman Viktor Sogomonian
told Itar-Tass.

Chief of the investigation department of the Armenian State Tax
Service Shagen Ovasapian was killed in the blast in downtown Yerevan
on Wednesday morning. The blast went off, when the 49-year-old
Major-General of the tax service was getting in his service car to go
to work. The driver of the service car was slightly injured. Criminal
proceedings were instituted, the investigation is in progress.

Robert Kocharian offered condolences to the family of the killed
general and condemned "the criminal methods aimed against the
efforts of the state to tighten the tax administration and create
equal taxation conditions for all." These criminal actions "cannot
change the task-oriented state policy in this field," the Armenian
president pointed out.

“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
