No one burst into the hotel
Vahagn Harutiunyan, a senior law-enforcement official leading the separate criminal investigation into the post-election violence, today refuted one of the statements of former Chief of Police Haik Harutiunyan made in the parliamentary commission looking into the events of March 1-2.
The leader of the United Labour Party (MAK), Gurgen Arsenyan, reminded Vahagn Harutiunyan that during the previous sitting Haik Harutiunyan announced that on March 1 a group of Yerkrapahs had burst into the Metropol Hotel and demanded to vacate the building. Arsenyan wondered whether an inquiry had been launched in this respect.
The head of the Criminal Investigation Group said they had been given no assignments.
According to Mr. Harutiunyan, the police possessed on-line information, but it wasn't confirmed later.
Thereby, another contradiction was revealed between the representatives of the two law-enforcement structures.
