    OPPOSITION PARLIAMENT MEMBER ACCEPTS POLICE CAR DID NOT RUN OVER DEMONSTRATORS

    ARMENPRESS
    March 28, 2008

    YEREVAN, MARCH 28, ARMENPRESS: Anahit Bakhshian, a parliament member
    from the opposition Zharangutyun (Heritage) party, agreed yesterday
    that allegations claiming that a police vehicle ran over opposition
    demonstrators on March 1 were not true.

    She said this to the Armenian Service of the RFE/RL. Earlier she
    had sent an open letter to chief prosecutor Aghvan Hovsepian with an
    attached CD, which she said, grounded rumors that the car ran over
    several demonstrators near the French embassy in Yerevan.

    Sona Truzian, a spokeswoman for the Office of the Prosecutor-General,
    said the chief prosecutor ordered to make a careful investigation
    into the allegations.

    As part of the investigation Anahit Bakhshian was summoned yesterday
    for questioning by a special unit of prosecutors as a witness. Truzian
    said during the interrogation in the presence of her lawyer, the CD
    was carefully examined following which the parliament member accepted
    that the car did not run over the demonstrators.

    "The police car moved with a high speed through the people, but no
    one was hurt. I saw it with my own eyes," she was quoted as saying.

    Rumors were circulating in Yerevan on March 1 that the car ran over
    at least two demonstrators.
