ArmInfo. Leader of Union Constitutional Rights Hrant Khachatryan
publicly slapped the party’s vice-chairman-Hayk Babukhanyan, for the
second time over the last year.

To recall, on Tuesday, another overturn took place in the party- the
Power at Union Constitutional Right party is again in the hands of Hayk
Babukhanyan’s supporters. It is not the first power change at the party
over the last 18 months.

To recall, leader of the party Hrant Khachatryan resigned in September
2006 ‘as a sign of protest against party Vice Chairman Hayk
Babukhanyan’s illegal activity’. Later, he changed his mind and
restored his post of the party leader through the court. H. Khachatryan
seized his office and made a public slap in the face of Babukhanyan. As
a result, the party split up into 2 parts. Moreover, the party
newspaper Iravunk is now published in two versions Iravunk and Iskakan
Iravunk.

Today, on January 14, Babukhanyan’s supporters tried to penetrate into
the party office. H. Babukhanyan told ArmInfo the court restored his
post of Vice Chairman. ‘Why cannot I enter my room for already a year?
Why cannot Hovik Galajyan fulfill his duties of Iravunk editor after
the court restored his position? Why Hrant Khachatryan reserves a right
to declare the party’s support to Vazgen Manukyan’s candidature? It is
the party congress that must made such a decision. We are studying all
the contenders except Levon Ter-Petrosyan’, Babukhanyan said.

After H. Khachatryan had defended the office for 5 hours, Babukhanyan’s
supporters with help of police officers and rescuers broke the door.
Babukhanyan with his supporters victoriously went round all the rooms,
opened the safes and made an inventory of property. Khashatrian gave a
short briefing and called the actions by Babukhanyan, police and
rescuers illegal. ‘Head of the Police Central Department sent them here
illegally. Rescuers were told that people inside the office may die if
they fail to open the door. I have applied to the Prosecutor General’s
Office’, Khachatryan said.

Later, during negotiations in the presence of journalists and police
officers Hrant Khachatryan all at once made a public slap in the face
of Babukhanyan-the second over the last year. For the public insult-the
slap received on February 8 2007, Babukhanyan got 150 000 AMD
compensation through the court. It’s interesting what today’s public
humiliation towards his irreconcilable opponent will cost for
Kahachatryan. In any case, the police officers immediately took the
leader of Union Constitutional Right to the police station.
