YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 10, NOYAN TAPAN. The former azatamartik (freedom
fighter), French citizen Sargis Hatspanian was taken to the National
Security Service (NSS) late November 7 where he was asked questions
about his interview with Haykakan Zhamanak (Armenian Time) daily,
during which he spoke about the possible attempt upon the president
Serzh Sargsyan's life. After the questioning, S. Hatspanian was
arrested on suspicion of false crime reporting (Article 333 of the
RA Criminal Code).
To recap, as long ago as during the February rallies, the law enforcers
made several attempts to take S. Hatspanian to police. Then the former
azatamartik went underground and was in one of Artsakh's liberated
regions in the period from the March 1 events to October 6. Some people
who came to his house on October 6, as well as a police officer on
October 9 told him that the second president Robert Kocharian had
divested him of the right to stay in Armenia and on March 10 signed
an order on deportation of the azatamartik from Armenia.
