more images On February 8, Hrant Khachatryan tried to carry out
the verdict of Cassation Court under which the elections of the CRU
presidium made in CRU 17th sitting were found null and void. Hrant
Khachatryan was accompanied by the representatives of the Compulsory
Executive Offices. Does it mean that Mr. Khachatryan attempts to
restore his stance in the party?

To note, the doors of the CRU office were closed in front of Hrant
Khachatryan.

Only the representatives of the Compulsory Executive Offices could
enter the office, whereas Hrant Khachatryan watched the events from
the corridor together with his adherents and a number of journalists.

"I have a right to enter and leave the office which is currently
restricted. I will allow nobody to close the doors of the office before
journalists and other visitors. It is inadmissible for me to be in the
office and not to influence on the decision of the security service
made by the illegal presidium", Hrant Khachatryan complained today.

A few hours later the representatives of CEO left the premises without
any comment. Then Hrant Khachatryan entered the office to take certain
documents from his shelf. Meanwhile Hayk Baboukhanyan was trying to
prevent him when Hrant Khachatryan slapped him in the face.

Hrant Khachatryan left the office without any results promising to
inform the journalists about his further steps.

After Hrant Khachatryan’s departure, Hayk Baboukhanyan told a press
conference. He assures that he is the real leader of the party as
both the chairman and his deputy were elected by separate ballots
and the results of the elections were not appealed in the court.

Hayk Baboukhanyan finds Hrant Khachatryan’s behaviour illegal and
intends to bring an action. In his words, Hrant Khachatryan’s adherents
instigating disorder must bear full responsibility for their actions.
