    ArmenPress
    Nov 22 2004

    YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 22, ARMENPRESS : Armenian national security officers
    tracked down and arrested a 42-year-old Yerevan resident who made
    A false warning about a terrorist attack in one of the biggest
    secondary schools in downtown Yerevan on November 19, forcing the
    school management and police to evacuate the students and teachers.
    The man, identified as Armen Najarian, made the call from a pay phone
    box in Mashtots avenue after learning the school's telephone number
    from an inquiry bureau.

    A statement by the national security service quoted the man as saying
    that there were personal motives behind the false call. It also
    said that Armen Najarian, who appeared to have a criminal record,
    is head of a non-governmental organization called Hope, set up to
    help rehabilitate former convicts, however Najarian was engaged in
    adventurous activity.

    Law-enforced bodies opened an investigation into the incident.
    They also called on the population to keep away from such actions,
    which produce huge psychological and material damages, warning that
    such actions are punishable up to imprisonment.
