Hrant Bagratyan says he did not disseminate any letter
Armenia's ex-Prime Minister Hrant Bagratyan says he has not sent any open letter to the media outlets via his e-mail.
"I cannot say who the author of the letter is, but I see a familiar handwriting [that of authorities]," Mr Baghratyan told A1+.
At the same time, the former premier noted that if the authorities and the national Security Service officially deny their connection with the false letter, he will believe them.
In the meantime, Hrant Bagratyan asks the Prosecutor General and the Armenian authorities through A1+ to find out the author of the letter.
Earlier in the day, the media received a letter in the name of Hrant Bagratyan. In the letter the country's former premier sharply criticized Armenia's First President Levon Ter-Petrosyan and the opposition bloc Armenian National Congress (HAK).
Hrant Bagratyan is included in the HAK electoral list.
