[02:59 pm] 30 May, 2006
Today at 10:00 a.m. about 10 - 15 Compulsory Service
representatives broke into the office of the
`Heritage' party and made 7 members of the party
including chairman Raffi Hovannesyan vacate the
premises they have occupied for more than 12 years.
Ler us mention that Raffi Hovannesyan spent the whole
night in the office located on 7 Vazgen Sargsyan,
inside the theatre after Hakob Paronyan. Raffi
Hovannesyan refused to obey to the `illegal' (in his
words) decision of the CS. Vahram Enoqyan, chief of
the Central Board of the CS held negotiations with
Raffi Hovannesyan.
The negotiations lasted for two hours and as a result
a statement was drawn up in which Raffi Hovannesyan
mentioned that they exerted pressure on him and on his
adherents and made them release the premises against
their will.
Vahram Enoqyan noted that the disputed premises won't
be used unless the corresponding decision of the court
is presented. The doors of the party were locked and
sealed. Hovsep Khurshudyan, chairman of the `Heritage'
party regulation committee mentioned that this is an
apparent political order as no court decision about
the eviction has been presented to them so far and
everything changed within a night.
Raffi Hovannesyan urged that they have released
letters on the `current crime' to the Chief Police
Officer, Attorney General and Human Rights Protector
and added, `After implementing the decision of the
court in the framework of the law, the CS
representatives made a sharp turning under the
pressure of other bodies. The law turned to an illegal
one within a night. This step is incoherent of men and
was made out of fear.'
A court session will be convened on June 1. The
`Heritage' party will present a mediation in which it
will demand to divulge the names of those people who
have closed their office since March 4 and broke into
the office on March 8, searched the computer base and
documents of the party. In Raffi Hovannesyan's
opinion, they were mainly interested in the data and
addresses of the party members.
'If those violations have any connection with the
questions of my letter addressed to Robert Kocharyan,
the President shouldn't react in such a way. He
shouldn't exert pressure by closing offices,' added
Raffi Hovannesyan.
