Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan.A little earlier the next wiretapping appeared on the network. This time, in addition to Arthur Vanetsyan and Sasun Khachatryan, heads of the National Security Service and the Soviet Union who appeared in the last recording, there is a recording with the participation of  the Acting Prime Minister - recording by Nikol Pashinyan and Artur  Vanetsyan. The conversation is conducted around Yuri Khachaturov and  Robert Kocharyan. According to the "tapping", Vaniecian calls  Pashinyan and reports to him that the head of the Special  Investigation Service Sasun Khachatryan wants to arrest the CSTO  Secretary General Yuri Khachaturov as part of the March 1, 2008 case.  At the same time, he expresses concern that problems with the  "Russians" may arise on this account.According to Pashinyan, the  corruption system sees that the anti-corruption struggle promised by  the new government is being implemented step by step. They, as  pointed out. heads of government, the authorities will be engaged  immediately after the parliamentary elections. "All corrupt  officials, one by one, we will call for justice on behalf of the  people, with the mandate of the people," he said.Pashinyan continues  to assert that the interception is part of a declared war against the  Armenian state and the people of the republic. "People who provoke  this war will face a crushing defeat," he said.For an appropriate  response to this anti-state activity, as Pashinyan said, it is  necessary that people take part in the upcoming parliamentary  elections and vote for the My Step block. As stressed by the. Heads  of government, these elections, in the first place should be  considered as the election of a new prime minister. "I hope to  receive from the citizens of Armenia a very strong mandate to fight  corruption and return the money stolen from the people to the last  penny, in order to deliver a crushing blow to the forces that  declared war on Armenian statehood," Pashinyan said.Touching on the  content of the conversation, Nikol Pashinyan stated that it was  completely mounted. And about. The prime minister recalled his  statement of September 12 from the podium of the National Assembly,  stating that certain parts of this telephone conversation were taken  from there. "In particular, the passage where the head of the  National Security Service says that the judge is scared, and I tell  him what it means scared? You are the National Security Council and  you must ensure the safety and independence of the judge. You can't  defend, it means you're working incorrectly," he explained.However,  according to the. the heads of the Armenian government, the actions  of the leaders of the National Security Service and the Soviet Union  unequivocally fit into the framework of their official powers. "There  is no doubt that this (interception. Red,) is a manifestation of  counter-revolution, there is no doubt that counter- revolutionary  forces and corrupt officials will face a crushing defeat," said Nikol  Pashinyan. He called in the upcoming parliamentary elections to vote  for the My Step bloc headed by him, including for this purpose.Recall  that on September 11, a recorded telephone conversation of the heads  of the National Security Service and the Soviet Union appeared in the  network. During an 8-minute conversation, they are discussing the  arrest of ex-President of Armenia Robert Kocharian, as well as  criminal cases initiated against CSTO Secretary General Yuri  Khachaturov and former Defense Minister Mikael Harutyunyan. In fact,  the "wiretapping" was initiated two cases under the articlesfull  "violation of the secrecy of correspondence, telephone conversations,  postal, telegraph or other messages" and "unlawful acquisition of  computer information in order to obtain information of particular  value", as well as "abuse of office". On October 16, in a  conversation with journalists, the head of the National Security  Service, Artur Vanetsyan, stated that a circle of customers and  telephone wiretaps was established, noting only that the customer was  "widely known" to the public. According to him, we managed to listen  to the conversation due to the fact that he was roaming at that  moment. In addition, he said, the conversation in the network is the  result of skilful editing. "On the indicated day, they had 10  telephone conversations." He (Sasun Khachatryan.red.) 8 times he  called me, I called him 2 times. We had more than one conversation  with him, which lasted 8 minutes and 40 seconds. Our longest  conversation lasted 2.5 minutes, these conversations are fully  assembled and presented as one conversation ", said Vanetcian.
