YEREVAN. – Armenian Police have commenced disarming the security
personnel of the oligarchs because carrying weapons is prohibited,
except for cases permitted by the law, Hraparak daily reports.

`We learned that the bodyguards of `Gasoline Rubo’ – former [Prosperous
Armenia Party] PAP, currently [ruling coalition’s Orinats Yerkir (Rule
of Law) Party] RLP member, Ruben Masumyan – and of a furniture store
director were `disarmed’ in the past two days. And the first `victim’
was [National Assembly] NA MP, PAP member Karo Karapetyan.

In an interview with us yesterday [Friday], [Police Chief Vladimir]
Gasparyan noted as follows in this regard: `This is a continuous
process and it concerns everyone.’

Let us see when the [ruling Republican Party] RPA oligarchs’ turn will come.

To note, [this] operation is primarily carried out in the evening
hours,’ Hraparak writes.
