The Azeri Mass Media have spread false information recently about
Armenian officers. According to them, an officer of the RA Police named
Gevorg Voskanyan participating in courses about Security issues in the
Center after George Marshal in the German town Garmisch-Partenkirchner
made an attempt to rape Natalya Kostroma from Ukraine and was expelled
from the courses.
In another piece of information representative of the RA Defense
Ministry mayor Artem Hakobyan is compromised. The Azeris claim that
he has received a warning from the heads of the Center because of
insults towards Georgia.
Asked a question by "Armenpress" agency how they will comment on the
information and if they correspond to reality or not the RA Foreign
Ministry press speaker Hamlet Gasparyan answered, "Of all the things
mentioned the only thing corresponding to reality was the names of the
Armenian officers. The rest is pure lie. Gevorg Voskanyan and Artem
Hakobyan participated in the courses since September 23, 2005. At
the beginning of the courses mayor Voskanyan had health problems and
was forced to return to Armenia on October 4 with the agreement of
the Center to get medical treatment. In answer to the lies from the
Azeri side the Center too claims in a written form that "All the
accusations of the Armenian mayor Gevorg Voskanyan are groundless
and do not correspond to reality, as he was never involved in any
unpleasant incident".
In the same written answer it is mentioned that mayor Artem Hakobyan
successfully finished the courses on December 16 of the previous year
and returned to Armenia. "The authorities of the Security issues Center
after George Marshal have not given any warnings to any representative
of the RA Defense Ministry", the announcement says .
The fact that the Azeri side is trying again to compensate the Armenian
officers participating in international courses proves once again
that the anti-Armenian policy of Azerbaijan is pursued on the state
level. And in these conditions the brutal murder of the Armenian
officer by the Azeri "national hero" in Budapest is not by chance".
