ANC member accused of contributing to information leakageJune 2, 2009 - 17:09 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Robert Avagyan, former member of the fact-finding group investigating March 1, 2008 incidents, told journalist that the person contributing to information leakage on the circumstances of policeman Hamlet Tovmasyan's death must have been a representative of Armenian national Congress (ANC).According to Mr. Avagyan, the document was not finally elaborated and contained several points requiring further consideration, hence it was still early to draw final conclusions. Nevertheless, breaching his duty not to disclose any information and realizing the consequences deriving thereof, Mr. Avagyan said that ANC might have sought to impede fact-finding group's activities by making that step. "By publicizing an unfinished document, a specific group of people might have pursued a specific goal, and I say for sure that it was an ANC representative that contributed to information leakage." Avagyan is confident that the only person who could have done that was Andranik Kocharyan, although he denies his complicity in the affair. The opposition-run press recently publicized a document containing preliminary data on police officer Hamlet Tadevosyan's death circumstances. The document had been kept in a fire-resistant safe belonging to the fact-finding group.
