Arminfo. Deputy Commander of Armenian Police, General Hunan Pogosyan
said at today's press-conference that no lawsuit was filed in
connection with the incident in which ex-mayor of Yerevan, Gagik
Beglaryan, took part.
Asked if Beglaryan beat Aram Kandayan's brains out, Pogosyan replied
'there was no severe beating from the side of Beglaryan'.
As it was earlier informed, the former mayor of Yerevan Gagik Beglaryan
kidnapped an employee of the Protocol Service of the Armenian President
Aram Kandayan, took him to his Metax plant and beat him. Unofficial
sources say that Beglaryan did it because Kandayan asked his wife to
change her seat during Placido Domingo's concert in Yerevan because,
according to the protocol, only the Catholicos of All Armenians,
the Speaker of the Parliament and the Prime Minister can seat near
the President. When the information about the incident was published
in the press, Beglaryan tendered his resignation.
To note, according to Armenian legislation, in case of an incident
between citizens (if the point is about abuse of power), as a rule
the suffered party should protect its interests, that is to say,
apply to law-enforcement agencies or court. At the same time, taking
into account that the incident is connected with high rank officials,
it is not ruled out that publications in the press may also become
a basis for gathering of materials and initiation of a criminal case.
