    IN FACT ARGISHTI KIVIRYAN ACCUSES THE INVESTIGATION BODY FOR STRIVING 'TO SOFTPEDAL' THE CASE OF AN ATTEMPT AGAINST HIM

    Arminfo. In fact the editor of 'Armenia today' Argishti Kiviryan has
    blamed the investigation body for striving 'to softpedal' the case
    of an attempt against him, as he said at today's press-conference and
    added that in some period of time the investigation body will simply
    stop investigation and delay the case.

    To recall, as it was reported earlier, three unknown attacked Kiviryan
    in the entrance of his house in Nalbandyan Street approximately at
    5:00 a.m. local time on April 30 2009.

    Armenian Police initiated a criminal case under Article 117 of Armenian
    Criminal Code (intentional infliction of light bodily injuries). On
    May 7 the case was transferred to the NSS where it was changed
    into Article 34-106 part 2 point 7 of the Criminal Code of Armenia
    (attempted murder by a group of people).

    Speaking about the course of investigation, Kiviryan said that two
    persons were arrested within the frames of the case - Vladik Serobyan
    and Gurgen Kilikyan. But there were set free on 8 March of the current
    year, as the investigative body recalled its motion about prolongation
    of the term of arrest. He also added that Serobyan is a relative
    of Samvel Petrosyan, the head of police department of Akhalkalaki
    (Armenian populated region of Georgia). Kilikyan is also connected
    with Georgia in some way - his father was arrested by law-enforcement
    agencies of Georgia for bribery and falsification of documents.

    Moreover, Kiviryan said that he attacked not once but two times. The
    first one happened on 20 April 2009, when at about 6:00 AM when
    leaving the office he noticed a group of young men in sports clothes
    and managed to come back to the office. In both cases, several days
    before the attempt Seropyan and Kilikyan went to Akhalkalaki to meet
    S.Petrosyan. This fact points at connection between the trips and
    further attempts upon Kiviryan's life. The reason of Petrosyan's
    such interest to Argishti Kiviryan may be the fact that being a
    coordinator of 'Bagin' agency Kiviryan used to publish articles
    which were not pleasant to Petrosyan. 'Petrosyan did not directly
    threaten me, nevertheless I head from time to time that he voiced
    threats regarding me', - Kiviryan said. He also added that Georgian
    authorities are conducting the policy of removal of Armenians from
    Akhalkalaki with a help of Samvel Petrosyan.

    As Kiviryan said, from the very beginning the Police made all
    the efforts to hide the details of the crime. He also added that
    over tenure of the present authorities no crime about attacking a
    journalist was cleaned and this one will have the same fate. Asked
    how save he feels himself in Armenia, Kiviryan replied: 'Who feels
    save in Armenia?'. At the same time he said his request to carry arm
    was ignored.
