FIRE WILL TAKE AWAY ALL THE TRACKS

Regions

On February 25 fire broke out in Abovyan City. The pre-election headquarters for Stepan Demirchyan, candidate for presidency, was on fire .

We were informed the headquarters was on the first floor of the 5-storeyed block of flats. The headquarters for former candidate Aram Karapetyan is nearby, but it was not damaged. It is surprising that none of the habitants of the 20-flat block noticed anything regarding the accident. “Even if they noticed, they wouldn’t say anything” , the headquarters workers say.

Of course, we don’t mean to drop a hint but the feudal-like relations in Kotayk Province are beyond controversy.

Abovyan’s IA officers arrived at the headquarters first and put out fire, thus saving lives of people. The attempt to set fire to the headquarters was made at 11:30 PM when there was no one there. “The unknown avengers” used liquid fuel, probably petrol, in order that the headquarters burnt down thoroughly and quickly. Petrol poured out on the closed door. Some part of the carpet in the room burnt as petrol flew in. Only the door burnt out.

Province headquarters head Smbat Eghiazaryan has 2 versions over what happened - headquarters employees tried to do away with the documents indicative of the irregularities at the elections, or some tried to just frighten Stepan Demirchyan’s supporters.

The policemen will give the official comment on the incident after the case investigation is completed. Before that the employees of the pre-election headquarters for Stepan Demirchyan in Abovyan City have to think out where to continue working.
