    2008-02-08 13:20:00


    ArmInfo. RA Prosecutor General's Office spread a statement concerning
    February 6 incident in the town of Artashat of Armenia's Ararat region.
    The statement of the Prosecutor General's Office, received by ArmInfo
    today, reads that an investigation group has been created in the Ararat
    regional Investigation Department on the instituted criminal case upon
    February 6 incident in Artashat. All the required measures are taken to
    clear up the circumstances of the incident, the video materials,
    concerning February 6 meeting of Levon Ter-Petrosyan's supporters, have
    been requested and examined, the operative-investigation bodies have
    been commissioned to initiate gumshoeing to identify the hooligans and
    find witnesses. The residents of Mkhchyan village of Ararat region R.
    Asatryan and resident of Ararat town O. Hovsepyan gave explanations,
    according to which slanderous expressions were sounded from the tribune
    during the meeting of L. Ter-Petrosyan's supporters, against which they
    expressed their disagreement. After that, a group of young people
    standing by near L. Ter-Petrosyan attacked them and started beating.
    Having informed the Police about it, the witnesses asked to take
    measures to reveal and punish the guilty persons.

    Employee of L. Ter-Petrosyan's personal guard, resident of Yerevan
    Sarkis Hovhannisyan also gave explanations, saying that he noticed 4-5
    young people throwing stones towards the people, and when he tried to
    stop them, they started beating him. S. Hovhannisyan added that he did
    not notice any subject or a knife in their hands and the described
    situation lasted a couple of minutes. According to the forensic medical
    examination, R. Asatryan, O. Hovsepyan and S. Hovhannisyan got trivial
    injuries with no threat to their health. The statement of L.
    Ter-Petrosyan's Central campaign headquarters, according to which
    Sarkis Hovhannisyan has been put in hospital, does not meet the
    reality. He keeps on officiating, about which he told the investigation
    group personally. The reviewed video materials did not confirm the
    statements about throwing of any subjects towards those on the tribune.
    Investigation is underway and its results will be promulgated
    additionally, the statement of RA Prosecutor General's office reads.
