YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 9, NOYAN TAPAN. The first Armenian president Levon
Ter-Petrosian confirmed the RA prosecutor general Aghvan Hovsepian’s
statement that he keeps the volumes of the case of the "Karabakh
Committee".
Below is the report sent from L. Ter-Petrosian’s office to Noyan Tapan.
"In 1995 and 1996, at my request the RA prosecutor general Artavazd
Gevorgian sent the volumes of the case of the "Karabakh Committee"
to the presidential residence and handed the case to the presidential
staff after its being registered in the appropraite way. This was done
so that the case would be kept in the museum to open in connection
with the 10th anniversary of the Karabakh movement in 1998. After the
power shift, the materials of the case of the "Karabakh Committee"
were transferred to my personal archive and are now kept there. None
of the prosecutors general to succeed Artavazd Gerorgian has applied
to me with the request or demand to return the materials of the
case of the "Karabakh Committee". Today I am also of the opinion
that the most proper place to keep these materials is the museum
of the Karabakh movement which will open sooner or later. However,
in case of necessity I am prepared to return them to the archive of
the prosecutor’s office immediately".
