YEREVAN, JANUARY 28, ARMENPRESS: Prosecutors in Armenia's third largest
town of Vanadzor in northeastern province of Lori have launched an
investigation into an attack on the election campaign office of the
opposition Orinats Yerkir (Country of Law) party.
Sona Truzian, a spokeswoman for the office of procuracy general,
told Armenpress that the criminal case was started under article
185 of the Criminal Code that envisages punishment for deliberate
destruction of property.
The attack was reported on January 25 when some unknown people
broke the windows of the campaign office of Arthur Baghdasarian,
nominated by the party as a presidential candidate and damaged some
furniture inside.
Prosecutors are also investigating an alleged attack on a resident of
Talin on January 27 which occurred moments before ex-president Levon
Ter-Pertrosian was going to address a crowd that gathered to listen
to him on the town's square.
The investigation was started on a complaint by the attacked man,
identified by Sona Truzian as Sarkis Karapetian, who was said to be
assaulted and beaten by a group of his town fellows.
