recognized them guilty of it. To recap, the case was instituted by the
RA Prosecutor General's Office on the basis of the illegal keeping of
weapon and the preparation of the terrorist act. According to the
statement made by the RA Prosecutor General's Office, the
investigation brought to light that one of the RA oppositional MPs
with his confederates ordered a terrorist act in early April of

consequences. The purpose of all of this is to violate public
security, intimidate the population and fulfill other illegal
demands. It was noticed in the statement of the Prosecutor General's
Office that MP Smbat Aivazian, a member of the political board of the
"Hanrapetutyun" ("Republic") Party, is a paymaster of the terrorist
act during the oppositional rally held in Freedom square on April 9.
