    THIS IS HOW THE ACTIVISTS WERE PREPARING FOR A COUP D'ETAT

    With Alik asking for "cigarettes"

    Recently, the press supporting the Armenian Pan-National Movement
    also touched upon the intercepted phone conversations of ex-Foreign
    Minister Alik Arzoumanyan, Head of L. Ter-Petrosyan's campaign
    headquarters, and stated with an utter degree of excitement that
    the intercepted information was the conversation of an employee of
    the US Embassy. No need to "look more catholic than the Pope". The
    United States, a country considering itself the sower of democracy,
    recently enshrined the right of intercepting the conversations of
    its citizens in the legislation (with security considerations).

    So, this message envisaged for foreign countries will not arouse any
    surprise in the United States. It's just a constituent part of their
    everyday life. It is only in our reality that the measures aimed
    at overthrowing the government by way of staging a coup d'état are
    considered as previously planned steps towards shifting the government,
    and after the failure of the attempts to achieve the desired result,
    the preparatory activities change into spontaneous demonstrations
    where one can see a lot of heaters, gas balloons and reduction gears
    ordered previously by LTP's campaign headquarters.

    Below we present the details of the pho ne conversation between Alik
    Arzoumanyan and some Volodya Hovhannisyan so as the reader will have
    a clearer picture of the serious activities carried out by the Head
    of LTP's campaign headquarters.

    Volodya Hovhannisyan: "It's Volodya speaking; so say something,
    old man."

    Alik Arzoumanyan: "Oh, yes Volodya, my dear. You had 9
    um... (stammering) cigarettes; I will need them."

    V. H. "Alik, my dear, organizing the whole stuff will take much time,
    so we'll hardly manage to do that today."

    A. A. "But I asked you to have everything prepared on the 20th,
    didn't I?"

    V. H. "Yes, that's true. But I was at the polling station. And the
    all people were at polling stations. So, what's the problem?"

    A. A. "No problem at all, Volodya. All these are interrelated
    questions."

    V. H. "I got it. I'll tell my guys to do something; I'll try to find
    some solution. If I manage, I'll solve the problem. Is that OK?"

    A. A. "You could have told me what was needed, and I'd have found
    everything. But you try. Try to find it today!"

    V. H. "You know, I have asked quite a lot of people to get those
    things, but it's difficult to find them in Armenia now."

    A. A. "Never mind, I beg you to solve that question today."0D

    V. H. "All right, I'll see what I can do, Alik, my dear."

    So, what's the message of this conversation? Anyone will understand
    that the word "cigarette" which serves as a kind of password is not
    absolutely what Alik Arzoumanyan wanted. "Do you have 9 um...?"

    Head of LTP's campaign headquarters says to Volodya, first reluctant to
    give any name to what he wants and then stammers the word "cigarette".

    What was it that he needed? What was it that he didn't want or feared
    to give the name of? Naturally, it wasn't with the purpose of warming
    the demonstrators (who spent the nights on the Theatrical Square)
    that Alik Arzoumanyan wanted 9 "cigarettes". It isn't as though we
    might think that the so-called "cigarette" must be some kind of arm
    or ammunition.

    Anyway, it's obvious that we are dealing with an explosive; otherwise,
    why should the two people have talked to each other, using the
    morse code?

    Furthermore, V. Hovhannisyan seemed to be raising the price of what
    he was going to find and making it clear to Alik Arzoumanyan that
    "It is now difficult to find them in Armenia". Probably, those things
    were easy to find during the years of the war or in the period when
    the Armenian Pan-National Movement was ruling the country.

    During the next phone conversation, A. Arzoumanyan gav e other tasks
    to V. Hovhannisyan and clearly said what he wanted, i.e.

    called the things by their names, since the conversation was no longer
    about arms, but rather - the items envisaged for the demonstrators.

    V. H. "We need balloons weighing 10 kilograms, together with their
    reduction gears.

    But I have instructed that the guys start working now, so I'll give
    you information in an hour or an hour and a half."

    A. A. "Both items are on sale, darling."

    V. H. "Yeah, I know they are, but we have to find the place in order
    to buy them. But it's winter now."

    A. A. "Just ask a couple of guys to do that."

    V. H. "I have taken care of that, Alik my dear. Tigran is now getting
    the affair done."

    A. A. "All right."

    Alik Arzoumanyan had his next phone conversation with Volodya
    Hovhannisyan on February 20, at 21:41 p.m. This time, the phone
    operator was Karapet Roubinyan, i.e. Mr. Arzoumanyan first contacted
    him. Judging by all, Hovhannisyan had managed to get the so-called
    "cigarette".

    A. A. "Young man, will you tell me Volodya's phone number?"

    Karapet Roubinyan: "I am passing the phone to him."

    A. A. "Hey guy, what's new?"

    V. H. "Everything's all right. Everything's ready, so we'll move it
    when you ask.E2

    A. A. "You wanted nine, didn't you?"

    V. H. "Yeah."

    A. A. "OK, then I'll say everything tomorrow evening."

    V. H. "All right."

    This is how the pro-Levon activists were preparing for a coup, having
    previously given instructions to special people and performing their
    activities on a high level and in an utterly spontaneous manner.
