YEREVAN, JULY 6, NOYAN TAPAN. The collaborators of the RA Police
blowed up the gates of the houses of the brother of Hakob Hakobian
(Lady Hakob), an MP in the National Assembly, and his nephew,
broke into their houses and detained the brother of H. Hakobian:
Simon Hakobian, and the latters youngest son: Vardan Hakobian. The
eldest son of Simon Hakobian: Stephan Hakobian, managed to escape. The
policemen discovered a great amount of ammunition.
According to the information provided by the Daily "Haykakan Zhamanak"
("Armenian Time"), Simon Hakobian was kept in the police station for
2 to 3 days, and as for Vardan Hakobian, he is still detained.
According to the Daily "Haykakan Zhamanak" ("Armenian Time"), the order
of the above-mentioned operation "comes from above." Robert Kocharian,
the RA President, and Serge Sargsian, the RA Prime Minister, ordered
the law-enforcement bodies to quickly reveal the murder of Sedrak
Zatikian, the son of Vahan Zatikian, a former MP and late member of
the RPA, which was committed on June 22, 2006. It is supposed that
the associates of Hakob Hakobian are connected with this murder.
According to the Daily "Haykakan Zhamanak", these special operations
against the family of the MP began after detained Arsen Arushanian
gave evidence concerning the murder case of S. Zatikian on June 31,
when he mentioned the names of certain people among the associates
of Hakob Hakobian.
In addition to other versions, the Daily writes that the murder of
Sedrak Zatikian is connected with the councillor elections held
in the Malatia-Sebastia community on September 25, 2005, where
Simon Zatikian received a great number of votes, and the Hakobians
feared that he could quickly take the positions his late father had
enjoyed. Therefore, "the Hakobians had a problem in losing the sphere
of their influence and that is why the murder of Sedrak Zatikian was
organized," the newspaper mentions.
