Shortly before, unknown persons attacked and beat social activists Haykak Arshamyan and Suren Saghatelyan. In response to the question of “Aravot” as to where, in what circumstances and what was the reasoning of the incident occurred, the historian and the employee of the Yerevan Press club Haykak Arshamyan currently being in the hospital N1 told that the incident took place in the yard of his house, when he was parking his car.
“Six people attacked me saying “are you a Diaspora man, hey bro!” and started to hit”- said he. At this very moment, Haykak Arshamyan and Suren Saghatelyan are in the hospital and have applied to the police. According to Mr. Arshamyan, they certainly do not know those who beat, they were “six bull necks”, but he is convinced that the reason of the beat was their recent activism in the protest actions against Armenia’s joining the Customs Union, particularly the participation in the demonstration held yesterday in front of RA Presidential House. “Suren got head injuries, my cheek is torn from inside,”- said Haykak Arshamyan.
