    PRESIDENT RESPONSIBLE FOR CONFIDENTIAL HEARINGS?

    A1+
    [05:32 pm] 05 February, 2009

    The National Security Service plans to open up a new
    operative-technical department with new specialists and authorizations
    and the RA President will appoint the head of the department. This
    department must be in charge of overseeing telephone conversations
    and take operative-investigative measures.

    The new department will be created according to the plan regarding
    "Activities of the operative-investigative department and making
    changes and additions to the law" presented today to the National
    Assembly.

    "If the RA President appoints the official, he must personally take
    on the responsibility for this department," said today deputy Armen
    Martirosyan.

    The National Security Service had a similar service and it is simply
    being renamed as a department with new specialists and authorizations.

    Armen Martirosyan asked Deputy Head of the NSS Romik Harutyunyan if
    the RA President was going to be responsible for releasing information
    regarding personal telephone calls taking into account the publications
    of the oppositionists' personal phone calls in the presses after the
    events of March 1. The deputy is concerned that all personal telephone
    calls may be heard, which is a violation of the RA Constitution.

    In response to that, the Deputy Head of the NSS said:

    "Your questions have nothing to do with our changes."

    The NA committee for defense, national security and internal affairs
    gave its consent to the plan. Head of the committee Arthur Aghabekyan
    called on everybody to present the comments and proposals for the
    changes in written form.
