YEREVAN, DECEMBER 19, NOYAN TAPAN. A committee for protection
of political prisoners will be created soon within the framework
of the Anti-criminal Movement. Nor Zhamanakner (New Times) Party
Chairman Aram Karapetian declared this at the movement’s December
19 sitting. In the words of Homeland and Honor Party Chairman
Garnik Margarian, it is planned to hold the committee’s constituent
assembly in Shirak region and then the meetings and rallies of the
committee’s regional structures will be held in another regions of
the country. In G.Margarian’s words, the Coordinator of the Defence of
Liberated Territories public initiative, Zhirayr Sefilian and member
of the Homeland and Honor Party Political Board, Head of the party’s
Aragatsotn region’s branch, Vardan Malkhasian will have the same
fate as 21st Century Party leader Arkady Vardanian, i.e. they will be
exposed to tactical methods of psychological influence in the isolator
of the National Security Service. In G.Margarian’s words, these
methods can be chemical, biological or physical. In his words, such
policy of the investigation group has the goal to break Z.Sefilian’s
and V.Malkhasian’s patriotic spirit, as this was done with A.Vardanian.
