YEREVAN, JANUARY 31, NOYAN TAPAN. Sargis Karapetian, a freedom-fighter,
the former commander of Talin volunteer detachment, who was beaten
during the January 27 meeting with RA presidential candidate Levon
Ter-Petrosian in Talin, got indignant that day that some persons
having made a name of "freedom-fighters" met the candidate with
the motto "Talin residents are with you." S. Karapetian said at the
January 31 press conference that coming up to L. Ter-Petrosian during
the rally he was hardly able to say the truth: "Mr Ter-Petrosian,
they have deceived you. Neither Talin region nor the whole Armenian
people is with you." In his words, these words became the reason for
L. Ter-Petrosian's supporters to attack him and beat him cruelly.
According to S. Karapetian, henceforth he will try to ask everybody
and to make everybody understand not to vote for L. Ter-Petrosian,
as "he cannot decide the Armenian people's future."
S. Karapetian also said that though a criminal case has been instituted
in connection with the incident and a preliminary examination is being
carried out, he has no forensic expertise document yet. According
to him, unless the case is examined and those guilty are punished he
will leave Armenia.
