DISORDER BEING LED FROM ONE CENTER
Prosecutor General Aghvan Hovsepyan convened a press conference yesterday to sum up the consequences of the mass disorder provoked in the center of Yerevan on March 1.
Estimating this unprecedented act of vandalism as not proper to our people, as a “terrible phenomenon, horrible incident” the Prosecutor General recorded: “ Legally what happened on March 1-2 was a grave crime. And criminal cases have already been instituted. By my instruction the cases are united in one procedure. Inspectors of special investigation service are realizing the inquest, investigators from all the departments are involved: around 50 inspectors from the National Security, the Police, Tax Agency, as well as Defense Ministry.”
According to the latest data, 8 people have died (from which one is a police officer) due to the mass disorder. 48 citizens and 117 policemen have been injured. Their life is out of danger. 1055 iron sticks, cudgels and special arms to cause bodily injuries, guns, 150 liter fuel and 62 bottles with fuses, prepared to start fires, have been found in the scene of action.
The people who live in the apartments where the shops were ruined and robbed by the slaughterers were located, as A. Hovsepyan stated, were terrified, because these houses were built in 30-ies, 40-ies and they have wooden ceilings and in case of fire it would have been impossible to put it out, as in case of the building of the Ministry of Justice.
“The inquest is in process. All the evidences, all the statements and facts are being thoroughly checked.” The Prosecutor stated and also said that the volume of the criminal cases linked with the mass disorder was unprecedented and requires: “ a large-scale investigation activity, examination, numerous questionings, confrontations and only due to all this can we draw final conclusions. “
Whereas yesterday, during the discussion of the petition submitted by the Prosecutor General regarding the arrest of the 4 MPs, certain MPs demanded from the Prosecutor to give concrete details regarding the illegal acts. By the way two of the before mentioned MPs, Kh. Sukiasyan and Sasun Mikaelyan are hidden.
According to A. Hovsepyan the latter: “Managed to hide very swiftly and successfully and the searching activities haven’t shown any good results by now.
Regarding the rumors about the “missing ones” A. Hovsepyan said: “ It is a fabrication. The police haven’t received any application about the “missing ones”. Those who make similar announcements must first of all ask me.”
The Prosecutor General partially opened the brackets, saying that the mass disorder was being led by one center. It is obvious. We have many testimonies, according to which those who were delivering speeches said one thing and did quite another thing in a hidden manner. They instructed them to be armed with cudgels, iron sticks, and guns. Why? Why were they armed with special things to cause bodily injuries? To whom and for what?”
Moreover there are testimonies that many of them came for robbery: “They were invited there to rob the shops. They have even promised them different posts. We have even testimonies that their leaders said they are going to take power at any price. And this price we already saw.”
A. Hovsepyan said it was due to the controlled, clever activity of the law enforcement agencies that they managed to avert: “ fires through the whole city, uncontrolled activities in the streets, which would have created favorable conditions for the organizers.”
As regards the activity of the law enforcement bodies, that caused death the Prosecutor said: “it was due to the extreme necessity for protection” in such cases the person is free from criminal liability.
We must add that, according to the decree of the Prosecutor General a special group of prosecutors has been formed, which is authorized to directly control and realize judicial leadership on the activity of the inquest bodies. The members of this group will appear as prosecutors defending the charge.
