YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 13, NOYAN TAPAN. The RA Prosecutor General's Office has not received any applications from those questioned in the city of Vanadzor in connection with the murder of the prosecutor of Lori marz (region) - applications about giving evidence under duress. However, based on press publications, the prosecutor general Aghvan Hovsepian ordered to conduct an internal investigation. He stated this at the RA National Assembly on September 13 when responding to reporters' questions. "I think the investigative group will reveal what actually happened there but I want you to take into consideration that there are people and there are groups that will not benefit from the detection of this crime," the prosecutor general said. In his words, the persons who expressed their discontent are trying to create an impression that the investigative group is conducting large-scale questioning in Vanadzor by taking people right from the streets in order to question them. He assured those present that it is not true, and people have been questioned in case of necessity, in order to check all the versions. It is noteworthy that during the National Assembly sitting on the same day, the independent MP Victor Dallakian handed the prosecutor general some video material and certificates from doctors - at the request of the questioned persons' relatives who came to Yerevan from Vanadzor. Spokeswoman for the prosecutor general Sona Truzian told NT correspondent that a meeting of the prosecutor general with them is scheduled for the evening on the same day.
