LEVON TER-PETROSSIAN’S ANNOUNCEMENT
on the case of the “Karabakh Committee”
“Following my request in 1995 or 1996, Armenia’s Prosecutor-General Artavazd Gevorgian sent the Karabakh Committee case to the Presidential Palace for the purpose of further putting it for display at a museum of the Karabakh movement that was to be opened in 1998, on the tenth anniversary of the movement,” Ter-Petrossian said. “After the change of power, all materials of the Karabakh Committee case were transferred to my personal archive and have been kept there to date. None of the prosecutor-generals that succeeded Artavazd Gevorgian in office have requested that I shall return the materials. I still think that the most appropriate place for keeping these materials is a museum of the Karabakh movement, which will be opened sooner or later. But if there is any necessity, I am ready to return them immediately to the archives of the prosecutor’s office.”

9.11.2007
Armenian Prosecutor-General Aghvan Hovsepian on Friday announced that the files pertaining to a criminal investigation launched in 1988 into the activities of the Karabakh Committee are now kept by former president Levon Ter-Petrossian, a leading member of the Committee and one of the accused in the notorious criminal case.
Hovsepian further revealed that Ter-Petrossian ordered the case to be provided to him still when he served as president.
“I had ordered for the case to be taken from the archives and given to me, but it turned out that the case was missing.
“What was done in 1996 was a gross violation of the law as even the president of the republic is not entitled to request and keep criminal cases,” Hovespian said.
