Leader of "New Times" party Aram Karapetyan turned to the RA
Public Prosecutor asking to initiate a criminal case against
him. Mr. Karapetyan represented the article in "Hayots Ashkharh"
as ground for his request.

The letter of the Public Prosecutor to Aram Karapetyan says, "Dear
Mr. Karapetyan, please be informed in connection with your letter
to the RA Public Prosecutor dated October 9 that the article in the
October 4 issue of newspaper "Hayots Ashkharh" is not ground enough
to initiate a criminal case against you".

This answer seems ridiculous to the New Times leader as "a young
leader of a certain party accused him of punishable actions. How come
the Prosecutor’s Office does not find grounds if he has not examined
the leader of the New Times and has not searched his house? "

It is noteworthy that in his letter to the Public Prosecutor Aram
Karapetyan demanded "to initiate a criminal case against the above
mentioned "young politician" and those who ordered him to write
the article, namely Defense Minister Serge Sargsyan and head of the
National Security Service Gorik Hakobyan" if the accusations turned
out not to be true.
