    ARMENIA: SEARCHED OPPOSITIONIST SURRENDERS TO THE POLICE

    In Armenia, on July 30, another oppositionist left the underground
    and surrendered to law enforcement bodies.

    Gamlet Ovannisyan, a member of the Armenian National Congress (ANC),
    who was in search since last March, is going to prove that statements
    of the authorities on amnesty are deceptive.

    Mr Ovannisyan, a veteran of the Karabakh War and former commander of
    a special regiment, is accused of organizing mass disorders.

    He came to the police station of the Yerevan community "Malatiya"
    in his military uniform, accompanied by Armen Martirosyan, head of
    the parliamentary faction of the Party "Zharangutyun" (Heritage)
    and his son, advocate Givi Ovannisyan. Prior to his appearance at
    the police, he spent two hours with his family at home.

    Mr Ovannisyan himself has no hopes for indulgence, although he
    has appeared before the deadline and is covered by the announced
    amnesty. "I wish to prove that the so-called 'display of good will'
    by the authorities is nothing but illusion. They act not on good
    will, but under tough pressure, even in the amnesty issue," he said
    to journalists.
