    Police Seized Cameras From Journalists

    Yerevan-Sevan highway is blocked. Our reporter informed that the cars
    transporting journalists were stopped at the traffic police point on
    Sevan highway and the journalists were not allowed to get closer to
    the place of incident.

    On the other side of the traffic police point are the relatives of the
    killed conscript Lux Stepanyan who want to transport the body of their
    son to Yerevan as a sign of protest. The army and police have blocked
    their way.

    Our reporter Siranuysh Papyan informs that the officials of the
    military police have seized cameras from her and the reporter of
    Kentron TV. They were told that the order came not to allow video
    recordings. `Turks will watch and mock,' they said.

    The chief of police Vladimir Gasparyan and the minister of defense
    Seyran Ohanyan are in the place of the incident, as well as other
    high-ranking officers of law enforcement agencies.

    Lux Stepanyan was killed on May 15 in a military unit in Noyemberyan.
    According to the MoD, it was an accident. The parents of the conscript
    do not believe the official press release, they think they want to
    cover up the case.
