Today, the representatives of "Heritage" Party organized a picket
opposite the RA General Prosecutor’s Office with the slogan "Veracity
and Right". They urged the General Prosecutor to bring an action
against the people who robbed their office on Vazgen Sargsyan 7.

Reminder: on March 4, 2006, unknown people broke into the office
of the party and stole the personal data of the party members, the
interior informative base and other important documents.

The central department of Police Forces initiated investigation and
revealed that there was an obvious robbery but they refused to bring
an action motivating their decision with "the absence of criminal
grouping."

The Court of First Instance of Kenton – Norq-Marash communities also
dismissed Raffi Hovannisian’s case.

Mr. Hovannisian, leader of the "Heritage" Party released a complaint
to the RA General Prosecutor Aghvan Hovsepyan. The latter promised
to give an answer in 35 days. The deadline expired yesterday but
Mr. Hovsepyan didn’t keep his promise.

Raffi Hovannisian claims that "Robert Kocharyan should bear
responsibility for these wrongdoings. This is only part of the illegal
actions the authorities have initiated against us. President Kocharyan,
who was elected to his post with a lot of election frauds, breeches
the public order, rights and laws," says Mr. Hovannisian.

Asked the question whether Mr. Hovannisian voices hope that the public
prosecutor appointed by the very president would endorse his claim,
he answered, "The prosecutor faces a dilemma; he will either conceal
the presidents’ illegal actions or will attempt to administer justice
in favour of civil protection.

Provided the hearings of the case are normal and comprehensive,
we shall win."

Raffi Hovannisian says that in case RA General Prosecutor turns
down their claim they will appeal to other judicial institutions,
including the European Court.
