Editor-in-chief of Yerevan.Today describes police’s working style “irresponsible”

The Investigative Committee officials came to the office of the Yerevan.Today at about 8.30 a.m. today took the hard disks of computers of the editor-in-chief and journalists and conducted a search that lasted for about 7 hours.

Speaking to reporters the editor-in-chief Sevak Hakobyan said that they have seized his computer as a result of double checking and without any grounding.

Referring to the reason, Hakobyan said that because of technical issues the web site showed the wiretapped conversation between the NSS and SIS earlier while he claimed it is a technical mistake and Yerevan.Today published this information the last one as it has published the whole transcript of the recording.

He stressed that they tried to explain that a technical problem has occurred with Google and noted that their web site even showed the followed press conference of the heads of special forces two days earlier.

“The police displayed irresponsibility,” he said, claiming that it is an attempt to harm their activity.

As to the talks that the web site belongs to Armenia’s second president Robert Kocharyan, Hakobyan said Kocharyan has no relation to the web site.
