Surik Khachatryan is allowed to do what Gagik Beglaryan was denied (video)

November 16,2011 16:15

Given the responses of the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) members to another “heroic act” of Surik Khachatryan, that governor is unlikely to face the same fate as the former mayor of the city of Yerevan.

Today another RPA member, referring to the incident, started to speak of the investigation, denials, distinguishing the right and wrong etc. Sukias Avetisyan, a National Assembly RPA member, spoke about that in the “Tesaket” (idea) club, “First of all I must say that certainly, generally such rumors, in particular, when they are related to an RPA member official are unpleasant. However, I must also say though the political forces have made comments on that, but the right comment will be when there is an exact procedure. Today an investigation was launched and after that it will be clear what happened, because today there are various comments, different people explain it differently, in any case you know quite well that it was denied by both the region administration and Surik Khachatryan. Therefore, I think it will be right to make a comment when it is clear whether it really happened and in what manner it happened. Otherwise, we are trying to bring in a verdict; we are rather trying to play the role of a court, which I think is wrong.”

Then, in response to “Aravot’s” observation that the Yerevan City Hall was also publicly denying when violence was used against the President’s Chief of Protocol and at that time the mayor was fired without any investigation, Mr. Avetisyan said, “You know what, these are different matters – in the first case, there was exact information that such an incident happened and in the second case, there is one party who reported that violence had been used against her, but when she was offered a forensic examination to have evidence, she refused and the other party denies that such a thing happened. You know quite well that the respective investigation body examines also the videos these days and after that it will be clear. I want us not to be guided by presumptions and not to say this was this way and that was that way, this was followed by this and that was followed by that etc. in any of such cases, before there is clear evidence.”
