ArmInfo. Leader of the Progressive Party of Armenia Tigran Urikhanyan
calls Mikael Danielyan, a human rights defender, the head of the
Helsinki Association, to public debates in connection with the recent
incident.
As the Progressive Party's press-service recalls, "on May 21 an
incident took place in Teryan Street in Yerevan, during which the
famous human rights defender, head of the Helsinki Association,
Mikael Danielyan, being in a drunken state, spied by taxi on the
leader of the Progressive Party, Tigran Urikhanyan, who was in his
administrative car. During a squabble, Danielyan hit Urikhanyan with
an unknown thing. Having serious problems with health, Urikhanyan
used his gas pistol and fired a blank shot into the air".
However, according to the Progressive Party's press-service,
"Danielyan disseminated false information. Though Urikhanyan is sure of
impartiality of the investigation, forthcoming conviction and arrest
of Danielyan, nevertheless, the Progressive Party's leader is ready
to give Danielyan a chance to present his viewpoint and offer him to
take part in public debates at the TV program "My right". Urikhanyan
said that "he is ready to respond to all accusations of Danielyan
before the Armenian public and the whole world. If Danielyan fails
to respond to this offer before May 28 inclusive, we'll state that
he has something to conceal from the Armenian public and this is why
he evades public debates", Urikhanyan said.
