Vahagn Harutiunyan, a senior law-enforcement official leading the
separate criminal investigation into the post-election violence,
today refuted one of the statements of former Chief of Police Haik
Harutiunyan made in the parliamentary commission looking into the
events of March 1-2.

The leader of the United Labour Party (MAK), Gurgen Arsenyan, reminded
Vahagn Harutiunyan that during the previous sitting Haik Harutiunyan
announced that on March 1 a group of Yerkrapahs had burst into the
Metropol Hotel and demanded to vacate the building. Arsenyan wondered
whether an inquiry had been launched in this respect.

The head of the Criminal Investigation Group said they had been given
no assignments.

According to Mr. Harutiunyan, the police possessed on-line information,
but it wasn’t confirmed later.

Thereby, another contradiction was revealed between the representatives
of the two law-enforcement structures.
