ArmInfo. Prosecutor General of Russia Yuri Chayka strongly denied
information about bad passports available with the Armenian citizens
living in Russia.
‘I hear about it for the first time. However, I would know if things
of this kind happened’, Russian Prosecutor General said at today’s
joint press-conference with his Armenian counterpart in Yerevan.
As some Yerevan newspapers report, the law enforcement agencies of
Russia have an information saying the Armenian authorities issued
about 600,000 bad passports to the citizens currently living in
Russia and having a local citizenship. "These are the passports
used for falsification of the parliamentary election 2007, as well
as the presidential election 2008. Investigation of this event has
already started in Russia. A number of questions were forwarded to
deputy Chief of Police Gevork Mheryan having been lately killed",
the newspapers say and claim that investigation of this case is
the prime target of Y. Chayka’s visit to Armenia. For his part,
Prosecutor General of Armenia Aghvan Hovsepyan emphasized that this
is a disinformation and lie.
