    Commission and petitioned RA President Robert Kocharian to suspend
    Pargev Ohanyan's powers.

    To remind, disciplinary proceedings were taken against Pargev Ohanyan,
    a judge of Kentron and Nork-Marash communities. The investigation
    revealed `insignificant shortcomings,' advocate Haik Alumyan says.

    The Justice Board declined to comment on the decision. Nevertheless,
    the last word is after Robert Kocharian to justify or to punish Pargev
