"The scandalous story of Watergate repeats itself in Armenia", member
of the Heritage party Raffi Hovannisian told a news conference today
which wasn’t visited by a single journalist from any TV Company.

Thanking the journalists present Mr. Hovannisian mentioned that the
persecutions of his party realized during the last months are organized
by the highest level of power. "In the Republic of Armenia which is
supposed to be a lawful country late at night without the decision of
the court people close down my house which is also my office. Four days
later at midnight they commit another crime – the break into my office,
turn on the computer and steal top secret information about the party".

Examination showed that a robbery has taken place, but the law
enforcement bodies refuse to initiate a criminal case. "We demand
to reveal the "Mister Gate" scandal. The law enforcement bodies
must interrogate the president, his administration and those who
control the court system and the activity of the TV Companies",
Mr. Hovannisian said.

The Heritage party has appealed the decision of the Kentron community
police about refusing the demand of the party to initiate a criminal
case. Raffi Hovannisian is convinced that the lists of the activists
of the party and the analytic materials have been stolen in order to
threaten the members of the party. "I hope that the National Security
Service will reveal what happened. I’m sure that it was the answer
of our political activity in the atmosphere of fear which has been
reigning in the country lately".

Let us remind you that during the latest conference of the party Vardan
Khachatryan has been elected leader of Heritage. In this connection
Mr. Hovannisian said that natural changes are good for any party.
