Robert Avagyan, former member of the fact-finding group investigating
March 1, 2008 incidents, told journalist that the person contributing
to information leakage on the circumstances of policeman Hamlet
Tovmasyan’s death must have been a representative of Armenian
national Congress (ANC). According to Mr. Avagyan, the document
was not finally elaborated and contained several points requiring
further consideration, hence it was still early to draw final
conclusions. Nevertheless, breaching his duty not to disclose
any information and realizing the consequences deriving thereof,
Mr. Avagyan said that ANC might have sought to impede fact-finding
group’s activities by making that step. "By publicizing an unfinished
document, a specific group of people might have pursued a specific
goal, and I say for sure that it was an ANC representative that
contributed to information leakage." Avagyan is confident that the only
person who could have done that was Andranik Kocharyan, although he
denies his complicity in the affair. The opposition-run press recently
publicized a document containing preliminary data on police officer
Hamlet Tadevosyan’s death circumstances. The document had been kept
in a fire-resistant safe belonging to the fact-finding group.
