The Prosecutor General's Office has found out that the disappeared file
of the "Karabakh" Committee was with Levon Ter-Petrosyan, RA Prosecutor
General Aghvan Hovsepyan declared today. The investigation revealed
that the file had disappeared from the archives of the Prosecutor
General's Office still in 1996. It was also found out that the head
of the Investigative Department personally took the file from the
archive and handed it to Levon Ter-Petrosyan.
Presenting some details, the Prosecutor General noted that they
received an inquiry from "Iravunk" newspaper, asking to provide some
data about the case.
"I asked to bring the file form the archive. It came out that the file
was missing. Naturally, I instituted an inquiry, which revealed that
still on November 6, 1996 upon the order of the Prosecutor General of
the time the Head of the Investigative Department had taken the file
from the archive and handed it to first President Levon Ter-Petrosyan,"
Aghvan Hovsepyan clarified.
The Prosecutor General noted also that a note has been sent to
Levon Ter-Petrosyan today, asking the latter to send the file to the
Prosecutor General's Office.
"I have to note that the law prohibits passing the criminal cases
from the investigating authority to another body. Even the President
of the republic has no right to demand and keep the criminal cases. In
1996 it occurred with a tough violation of law," RA Prosecutor General
Aghvan Hovsepyan noted.
