27 February, 2008

On February 26 the police conducted a search in the flats of two
Vanadzor citizens- Meruzhan Harutiunian and Arsen Avetissian.

They were looking for documents and weapons proving the above-mentioned
citizens’ criminal activities but they found nothing of that kind. The
police went through Harutiunian’s flat, cellar, garage and garden plot.

It is still beyond understanding in what misdemeanour these citizens
are suspected.

The search warrant had been issued by the court of Kentron and
Nork-Marash communities, Helsinki Citizens’ Assembly Vanadzor Office
reports.

To remind, Meruzhan Harutiunian is a "Special Regiment" member and
a Karabakh war veteran. He has been attending the popular meeting
organized by Levon Ter-Petrossian for a few days. Avetissian is on
a sit-down strike at Liberty Square.
