Law enforcement agencies of Armenia are preparing to bring charges
against ex-presidential contender, first president of the republic
Levon Ter-Petrosyan, minister of justice of Armenia Gevork Danielyan
stated to France Press.
"According to the today’s situation, the law-enforcement agencies
have sufficient grounds to start criminal proceedings regarding Levon
Ter-Petrosyan," the minister said. "The investigation will show, what
exactly the charge is going to be," he said, adding that ex-president
has moved from the political field to the criminal one.
Meanwhile, the justice ministry’s spokeswoman Lana Mshetsyan
explained in an interview to REGNUM that the minister, while
answering the FP question, stressed that the subject was not in his
competence. "However, he has pointed out as a lawyer that there are
grounds for starting criminal proceedings, whereas the investigation
will show the rest," Mshetsyan commented. "Whether the persecution
is being prepared or not, is not in the competence of the minister,
and Gevork Danielyan has not spoken on that," she said.
