A.K.) KGB in “October 27” Tragedy.

Yesterday, the mobile workshop of Mr. Ghoukassyan has been set to fire. (See

colored photos in the front page of “Aravot” daily, Wednesday, June 27.01).

The autobus-workshop of the freelance journalist Vahagn Ghoukassian , which

was parked near the Economics Yerevan University of Economics , has been set

to fire and burnt down. In reality, Ghoukassian has been deprived of his

main source to feed his family. Of course the official propaganda machine

will insist that the circumstances of the fire are not clarified yet. But,

it should be noted that such incidents do not happen incidentally. The fact

is that Vahagn Ghoukassian is the author of several investigation-analytic

articles about the “October 27” case, and these essays, to say the least,

are not favorable to the current regime.

 

In this series can be classified his last two articles, which were published

in our newspaper. The first one concluded that the murderer of Armenak

Armenakian (executed outside the hall of the NA – A.K.) was a member in the

terrorist group of (Chief Criminal – A.K.) nayiri hounanian, and is still at

large. To prove his thesis, he had relied solely on the results of the

military investigation.

In his second essay, Ghoukassian had pointed out the guilty idleness of the

National Security Ministry (KGB) during the days of October 27. In any case,

it is obvious that we are dealing with political terrorism, which had

started in Armenia in 1998. We should remind that Vahagn Ghoukassian had

received several threats by phone further to his publications about October

27. And most importantly, there are forces in Armenia  that are ready to

deprive any individual in opposition, from his last source of income. These

forces are trying to prove that in order to live in Armenia, it is essential

to be loyal to the current regime, as a minimum.

Vahagn Ghoukassyan, the author of several investigative publications

concerning “October 27” massacre case, has received threats by telephone.

According to Vahagn Ghoukassyan, an unknown person has called him and

threatened, “You don’t realize what kind of fire you are playing with”, and

has demanded to quit from now on researching through the “October 27” case

and writing in that theme.

 

Th caller has warned that Vahagn Ghoukassyan should be “worried” about the

further security of the members of his family…

V. Ghoukassyan has informed the Interior Ministry headquarters of the

Shahoumyan Region of capital Yerevan about these threats.

http://www.webnet.am/directory/media/armenian_times/archive/010527.htm

 

The night before, the workshop-bus which was standing opposite the

University of Economics, was almost completely burnt down. It was a leather

goods workshop which belonged to Vahagn Ghoukassian. You have often read in

our newspaper articles written by him about the events in connection to

“October 27” Terrorist case. It is hard to tell exactly at what time the

fire started, but about 1 a.m. the fire brigade was already there and was

extinguished the fire quickly. According to the workshop owner, the fire

till that time had already caused a damage of 1000-1500 dollars. Furniture,

as well as documents, literature, articles related to the October 27 events

all were burnt down. V.Ghoukassian excludes the possibility of “an accident”

that could have caused the fire. He said,  “I evaluate this as a political

liquidation for my anti-authority activities, because the electricity at the

shop was off, and I don’t have any personal enemy”. According to Vahagn

Ghoukassyan, he is now deprived of the possibility to work working in his

main hobby – essay-writing, , since by the burning the shop they have

deprived him of  his main source of income to support his family. “Now I am

obliged to look for new sources of income”. After finding such a source,

Vahagn Ghougassian will continue to write essays.
