Prosecutor General of Armenia Gevorg Kostanyan is at loss to speak
of the crime wave reasons in Armenia. After the government meeting
on March 10 the journalists asked Kostanyan to comment on the recent
bloody shootout. Criminal kingpin Levon Ghazaryan was killed in the
shootout in Yerevan. During the shootout in Gyumri six people were
severely injured and taken to hospital.
However, the Prosecutor General's answers were rather indefinite.
According to him, it is too early to speak of the crime rate in
Armenia, as well as of the reasons of the shootout. Kostanyan believes,
that the only solution to the problem after such incidents is to
strengthen the control of arms traffic. He assured, that necessary
measures are taken on each crime.
Kostanyan evaded the question if the crimes were related to the law
enforcement bodies' improper execution of their functions.
The Prosecutor General also refused to comment on spread rumors
that Head of Police Vladimir Gasparyan and Head of Investigation
Committee Aghvan Hovsepyan are striving for his resignation. "Every
single administrative official desires a higher position, which is
quite normal", he said.
