Tigran Torosyan, speaker of parliament, denied any involvement of Prime
Minister Andranik Margaryan in beating of Suren Abrahamyan, member
of Republic Party board who was also former mayor of Yerevan, former
interior minister and former chairman of Armenian Football Federation.
"I condemn any violence against any person," the speaker said today
also saying it seems strange to him that the prime minister is blamed
in the incident especially prior to investigation. "I think it will
be unveiled that neither HHK nor Andranik Margaryan have any relation
to the incidence." In his opinion, Abrahamyan gave way to provocations.
Torosyan also denied that HHK member, and National Assembly deputy
Hakob Hakobyan is arrested. "If the deputy were arrested, I would
know about it," he said.
