Following the scandalous eavesdropping. What were law enforcement officers looking for in Yerevan Today?

Editor-in-Chief of Yerevan Today website Sevak Hakobyan presented details of the search conducted by the police and investigative committee in the editorial office of the website. In a conversation with journalists, Sevak Hakobyan mentioned that the incident was strange for him.

“I consider it an irresponsible practice that the wiretapping conversation was put earlier on our website according to the police information. I consider this an attempt to harm our activity,” he said.

At 8:30 this morning, dozens of employees of the 6th Police Department and CSI entered the editorial office of the yerevan.today news website, presented the decisions of the court and the investigative body on conducting a search.

Sevak Hakobyan informed that they will hold a press conference in the near future. “At the moment, I can only say that they confiscated my computer and the hard drives of other computers. Moreover, this was done as a result of repeated inspections. They recorded that the information they came for was published on our website much later than it was distributed, but after that they confiscated what they needed and left,” said Hakobyan.

To remind, a few days ago yerevan.today published a statement that said: “Dear visitors of Yerevan.Today, information has spread on the Internet that our website allegedly posted the telephone conversation of the heads of the National Security Service and the National Security Service 2 days ago, as if knowing in advance. Some “evidence” is shown. Internet experts have already denied this, stating that there is a problem with Google’s system.

But still, misinformation is being spread widely, which is turning into a massive counter-propaganda against our site. We inform you that we found out about the recording by chance, on September 11, at exactly the same time, around 14:00, as our other colleagues and netizens. We posted it on the website around 3:00 PM, when it was already widely distributed. We posted the video only after transcribing it.”

To the question: What does the second president of RA Robert Kocharyan have to do with Yerevan Today website, Sevak Hakobyan assured that Robert Kocharyan is not the owner of the website and has nothing to do with the website at all.
