ArmInfo. The statements that  Kocharyan's lawyers spread a telephone conversation between the heads  of the National Security Service and the Special Investigative  Service are absurd and untrue. This was stated on September 14 at the  press conference by Hayk Alumyan, lawyer of the second president of  Armenia.

He stressed that neither the second president nor his lawyers are in  any way connected with this record.  "Robert Kocharyan has nothing to  do with wiretapping, it is difficult to answer the question who could  make this record, however, in Armenia NSS has such powers," the  lawyer said.

Alumyan also touched upon the statement of the head of the SIS that  the latter have evidence that soldiers during the March 1 events were  brought in as mercenaries for the protection of oligarchs' houses.  "If the Special Investigation Service has evidence, then why is there  no charge?", the lawyer wondered.

According to the lawyers, the authorized bodies show a notebook, in  which it is allegedly documented that during the March 1 events,  soldiers were used as contractors, oligarchs were giving bribes, and  all this was carried out on an illegal basis. "I have not seen this  notebook, if the representatives of the SIS have sufficient evidence  of the guilt of an official, then where is the charge brought against  him? If this information is not confirmed, why do the heads of such  serious structures make such a statement. The head of the SIS tried  to divert public attention from recording his telephone conversation  with the head of the National Security Service, Vanetsyan, "Alumyan  stressed.

To note, MP Alen Simonyan in his conversation with journalists stated  that the recording of the telephone conversation between the heads of  the National Security Service and the SIS was probably spread by  Robert Kocharyan's lawyers.

To note, during a press conference on September 11, the head of the  Special Investigation Service, Sasun Khachatryan, stated that the SIS  has evidence that, from February 23 to March 7-8 2008, oligarchs  hired soldiers for money to guard them and their property.  Khachatryan presented some documents at the press conference in  which, according to the latter, it is indicated how much money the  oligarchs gave to the soldiers, and there are signatures of those who  received the money. The head of the SIS also noted that there is  evidence that a large amount of money has been withdrawn from the  accounts of a number of oligarchs these days, which once again  confirms their guilt.
