    RAFFI HOVANNESYAN WAS EVICTED

    [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.
