According to the statement made by the party "New Times" the murder of
Head of the Operative Investigation Department of the State Tax Agency
Shahen Hovasapyan and the violence against the journalists testify
to the fact that the crisis in Armenia is deepening and threatens
to shatter the basis of the state. The statement claims that the
"present authorities with criminal elements are responsible for all
suchlike crimes".

According to the statement, "the resignation of the heads of the
power structures is extremely urgent", as in case of the absence of
radical changes all the spheres of life will collapse.

"Today the necessity of getting rid of the criminal authorities is
more urgent than ever. With this aim the party "New Times" calls
on the society to unite and to fight against the criminals", the
statement says.
