    ARMENIA'S PRESIDENT RELIEVES GAGIK JANGIRIAN OF DEPUTY PROSECUTOR GENERAL'S POST

    ARKA
    Feb 25, 2008

    YEREVAN, February 25. /ARKA/. Armenia's President Robert Kocharian
    relieved Gagik Jangirian of the post of Deputy Prosecutor General of
    the country. Jangirian has also been stripped of his degree of first
    class state justice counselor, the presidential press service reported.

    The request for dismissal of Gagik Jangiarian was submitted
    to the president by the country's Prosecutor General Aghvan
    Hovsepian. Jangirian violated the provision of the Law of Prosecutor's
    Office banning prosecutors from being involved in politics as the
    day before he showed his support to the ex-president of Armenia Levon
    Ter-Petrosian at an opposition rally.

    Since February 20 rallies, sit-ins and student walkouts have been
    held by the opposition in the center of Yerevan.

    The initiators and participants of the opposition actions protest
    against the results of the February 19 presidential elections
    published by the Central Electoral Commission. According to the
    results, the current Prime-Minister Serge Sargsian won the elections
    with 52.86%. According to the Central Electoral Commission, opposition
    candidate Ter-Petrosian obtained 21.5% of the votes.
