“The level of criminal cases in the Republic is stable about 10-12 percent. The number of cases of heavy and particularly heavy crimes is stable”,- announced the RA General Prosecutor Aghvan Hovsepyan in the NA.

In compliance with the RA Constitution, the General Prosecutor is appointed by the NA, but the President puts forward his candidate. Today Aghvan Hovsepyan had to answer to the questions of the deputies, but before that he presented the situation in the system headed by him, its deficiencies and the necessity of amendments in the system. The General Prosecutor did not hide the fact that a number of non-professional employees worked in the system, corruption prevailed, and cases of improper methods for investigation were carried out and ensured that they were fighting for refinement of the system. The questions of deputies were of different character.

Answering to the question of Victor Dallakyan, a deputy, the Prosecutor mentioned that he was very much interested in the reveal of Lori regional prosecutor’s assassination, though he was not consistent. The Prosecutor expressed doubt about the cases of using force against the witnesses, ascribing them as “shows” and informed that there people who were not interested in the reveal of the case as such as he perused its reveal. He told a case when a girl came to the Prosecutor’s Office some days ago and said that she witnessed the murder of the prosecutor and told how three young man approached the prosecutor and the man accompanying him and started a quarrel. The Prosecutor said: “Boys, this is not the way to solve problems”. Then they took out a gun and shot him. Three days later the employees of the Prosecutor’s Office found out that the girl did not witness the incident and had vague information on it. The General Prosecutor was interested who stood behind this alleged version.

As to the famous incidents in Gyumri and the case explosion of the child, the Prosecutor noticed that the case was closed, because the child died of explosion of a bomb. “The possibility of the presence of a third person in the place is excluded”,- said the Prosecutor. As to the second person, he did not mention anything. Sona Truzyan, the General Prosecutor’s press secretary informed that no one was present in the place of the incident.

The Prosecutor avoided answering to the questions referring to the situation in the army and the questions related to the abuse cases on soldiers by officers.

To the question of Anahit Bakhshyan, whether the General Prosecutor will continue to work with Gagik Jhangiryan, Mr Hovsepyan responded: “I am not working with him, he is working with me”. The General Prosecutor did not answer to half questions of the deputies. Tomorrow they will continue the inquiry, afterwards the Prosecutor will be re-elected by a secret voting system.
