Armenia probing election-related offenses – spokeswoman
YEREVAN Feb 1
Armenia’s Office of Prosecutor General has put together three
criminal cases in response to 17 complaints made in relation to the
February 19 presidential election. Some complaints have been thrown
out while others are still under investigation, the office
spokeswoman said.
One of the cases follows an assault on presidential candidate Artur
Bagdasarian’s campaign office in the town of Vanadzor, Sona Truzian
told Interfax.
A second case is a response to a physical fight between an adversary
and supporters of another candidate, former president Levon
Ter-Petrosian, during a speech he was making in the town of Talin on
January 27.
The third follows an incident in which approximately 150 to 200 cars
that were accompanying Ter-Petrosian’s car ended up continuously
blowing their car horns, driving on the wrong side of the road and
ignoring demands by traffic police as they were driving through the
heart of Yerevan.
