HERITAGE STATEMENT ON ARMENIAN 'WATERGATE'
Yerevan--On October 9, Raffi Hovannisian and the Heritage Party sent a
complaint to the Republic's prosecutor general Aghvan Hovsepyan, appealing
the recent decision of the Yerevan prosecutor's office not to file criminal
charges in the case of the illegal forcible closure of and break-in to their
offices and computer system in March. The prosecutor general personally
pledged to Hovannisian to consider the case and respond by week's end.
As a reminder, an official laboratory examination ordered by the Yerevan
police department had concluded months ago that on March 8 individuals yet
to be identified entered the premises in question, from which Hovannisian
and Heritage had unlawfully been evicted days earlier, and after
circumventing the computer's password "at 1:06am a monitor and a USB-type
memory-bearing flashcard of an unknown brand were externally connected to
the computer, the operational system of which registered modifications to a
host of files."
This alone is clearly sufficient to meet the threshold requirement for
initiating a criminal case, after which all witnesses and suspects,
regardless of their official capacity, must be questioned and a series of
other relevant investigations carried out.
Anything short of this means an orchestrated cover-up of a criminal act well
beyond the bounds of justice.
We demand truth and right.
