The coordinator of the Armenian National Congress Levon Zurabyan with
the responsible of Congress external relations Vladimir Karapetyan and
the head of Nikol Pashinyan's electoral headquarter David Matevosyan
presented the details of the assault against the HAK activists. On
December 27, the HAK youths were conducting pre-electoral campaign in
the center of Yerevan when a group of people headed by someone called
Vahan Nadryan approached them with the demand to stop campaigning. Then
another group joined. Both groups assaulted the HAK youths and Vladimir
Karapetyan and beat them up. Six young people Vahagn Gevorgyan, Sahak
Muradian, Sargis Gevorgyan, Tevos Matevosyan and Sergey Gasparyan got
concussion of the brain. Youths were hospitalized. David Matevosyan
arrived at the scene, called the police and presented as the head of
the headquarter, only then the assaulters were repressed a little.
The police reached the scene only 40 minutes after the call in case
the assault lasted only for 15-20 minutes. The HAK coordinator Levon
Zurabyan says all the RP sub-headquarters work in support of the
candidate of the National Unity Ara Simonyan. According to Zurabyan,
Gagik Beglaryan heads the violent recourse and concretely Ruben
Sandoyan, who is a NA member, organized everything. In answer to
the question why Beglaryan has been appointed to head everything,
Zurabyan said that the government knows very well who the best in
heading hooligans is.
David Matevosyan noted that among the members of the second group
which joined the first from where Sashik Sargsyan's house is there
was a young man who before in a strike with Sashik's people lost his
rein and for this reason was appointed an Elders' Council member. Nikol
Pashinyan also responded to the incident and made a statement from the
isolation cell appealing to the headquarter members not to break down.
David Matevosyan noted that partial attitude is performed towards
Nikol Pashinyan as TV channels do not his electoral video.
