    YEREVAN

    The Armenian law-enforcement bodies are continuing to search the homes
    of members of the Armenian opposition New Times Party.

    The law-enforcement bodies yesterday evening detained and questioned
    two drivers and the political secretary of the party, Edik Grigoryan,
    the secretary of the party leadership, Emanuel Markaryan, told our
    Arminfo correspondent.

    Apart from this, the home of the party leader's assistant, Vardan
    Astvatsaturyan, was also searched. Emanuel Markaryan has learned that
    the law-enforcement bodies intend to search his house within the next
    few hours.

    Commenting on the situation, Emanuel Markaryan noted that "we are the
    ones who were shot, but they are looking for weapons in our houses".

    To recap, during the disturbances that took place at a rally in Sevan
    on 20 April, an activist of the New Times Party, Garegin Petrosyan,
    received a bullet wound. Thirty-two parties of Armenia condemned the
    disturbances and acts of hooliganism that took place in Sevan on 20
    April.
