    The Armenian chief prosecutor's office has brought new charges against
    the editor-in-chief of Jamanak Yerevan Arman Babadjanyan. He is accused
    of stealing docuements based on article 324, part II of the Armenian
    Penal Code.

    According to the official site of Chief Prosecutor's Office, new
    circumstances have come about in the course of investigation which
    changed the scope of charge against Arman Babadjanyan. The source
    says that Babadjanyan left for USA in 1997 without the right for
    postponement of draft. Babadjanyan faked documents through computer
    on prolongation of education in USA until 2004 and through her
    mother submitted the documents to Shengavit department of military
    commissariat in 2002. Learning that these documents are not enough to
    get the right for postponement, he stole the marriage certificate of
    his friend, Vahe Abovyan, living in USA, and the birth certificates
    of his children and made a fake marriage certificate on his name
    with a date of December 11, 1997. Babadjanyan also faked two birth
    certificates, putting the dates of 16 February 1999 and March 9,
    2002. The faked certificates were submitted to Shengavit military
    commissariat and Babadjanyan received postponement of military draft.

    Note: A. Babadjanyan was arrested on June 26 with a suspicion of
    faking documents to evade military service. At the moment the editor
    of Jamanak Yerevan is in Nubarashen prison./Panorama.am/
