    Armenian premier denies links with Tbilisi grenade suspect

    TBILISI

    Armenian Prime Minister Andranik Markaryan has flatly denied any links
    between Vladimir Arutyunyan, who is suspected of attempting on US
    President George Bush's life in Tbilisi on 10 May, and Armenia and the
    Armenians.

    "Vladimir Arutyunyan, who is currently in custody, is a Georgian
    citizen and is not connected with Armenia or the Armenians. Some media
    are drawing absolutely incomprehensible and inappropriate parallels,"
    Andranik Markaryan told journalists in the Ninotsminda Region of
    Georgia on 24 July during his two-day official visit to Georgia.

    Georgian Prime Minister Zurab Noghaideli, who was accompanying his
    Armenian colleague, told journalists that Arutyunyan's case "is very
    clear and the investigation will be completed soon".
