YEREVAN, DECEMBER 4, NOYAN TAPAN. At the December 4 press conference,
representative of the Armenian National Congress David Shahnazarian
presented the written order of RA Prosecutor General Aghvan Hovsepian
to the special investigation group’s senior investigator. According to
the order, the control over the investigation of the March 1 events
is laid on Deputy Head of Prosecutor General’s Office Administration
Gevorg Tovmasian, who has been lately delegated from the ruling
coalition to the fact-finding group on the March 1 events.
According to A. Shahnazarian, in essence, a person from the ruling
coalition became a member of the fact-finding group on the March 1
events in Yerevan, who destroyed the whole investigation and should
have been himself invited for presenting the proper materials to the
group. "No doubt G. Tovmasian has been sent to the group specially,
to hinder its work," the ANC representative said.
Mentioning that all coalition parties are responsible for that
appointment, D. Shahnazarian said that this circumstance is another
proof of the real attitude of authorities to the disclosure of the
March 1 events.
