    made a statement in connection with beating up of the editor of
    Armenia Today, Argishti Kiviryan.

    'On April 30, 2009 early in the morning editor-coordinator of the
    Armenia Today electronic newspaper, lawyer Argishti Kiviryan was
    severely beaten.

    With heavy injuries he was taken to the reanimation department of one
    of the hospitals. According to the relatives of Argishti Kiviryan,
    the attack is connected with his journalistic activities.

    We, undersigned representatives of NGOs express our anger and state
    that violent way of solving problems is becoming a serious threat to
    the society and the authorities do not take effective steps to overcome
    the situation. The fact that perpetrators of attacks on journalists
    still have not faced the justice is an obvious evidence of this.

    We strongly condemn another violence and demand the law enforcement
    bodies to reveal this crime promptly and bring the perpetrators to
    the responsibility', the statement says.
