On June 1, the director of Haykakan Zhamanak daily Anna Hakobyan said
that the arrest of one of the journalists of the daily, Ani Grigoryan
has a personal and political reason which comes from the Police Chief
Alik Sargsyan. According to her, the reason of Ani's arrest is that
the Chief of the Police did not like her articles.
Haykakan Zhamanak director told they assess the incident as
Alik Sargsyan's revenge on Ani in connection with the latest
two publications of the reporter. She says when Ani was taken
to the police, the police officials told each other "this is that
journalist". One of the officers gives evidences that one day before
the journalist hit him in the face. But how he can know that it was
right Ani, and by coincidence, red berets recognize Ani too and take
to the police, says Anna adding that they knew earlier that the Police
Chief does not like Ani's articles in which she shows how the Armenian
police copied its anthem from the Georgian one and served it for Alik
Sargsyan's PR.
Ani Gevorgyan, another journalist of Haykakan Zhamanak Syuzi
Poghosyan, as well as a Hayq reporter Lilit Tadevosyan were taken
to the police from the Freedom Square where they were fulfilling
their professional duties. Syuzi Poghosyan and Lilit Tadevosyan were
later set free, while Ani remained under arrest because of the famous
reason. The editor-in-chief of Haykakan Zhamanak Hayk Gevorgyan says
the police violated the rights of people to hold protest actions and
of journalists covering the events without any ground. Hayk Gevorgyan
noted that the Police acted out of the law hence becoming a band.
Haykakan Zhamanak daily gives an advice to the Armenian Chief of
Police, trying to take revenge from the paper, not to enter in this
game with Haykakan Zhamanak, because in case the police do not correct
their mistake and do not set Ani free and do not apologize, hard days
are expecting for Alik Sargsyan, says Anna Hakobyan.
She says they are not going to respond to Alik Sargsyan with the help
of the same methods he uses, but they are going to act within the law.
According to her, if the means of the police is illegality, their
means is the pen. "Let us see who will come out to be stronger",
says Anna Hakobyan.
By the way, she noted that Ani Gevorgyan is currently in an isolation
cell alone which is positive. The staff of the Haykakan Zhamanak has
already sent her a branch of roses. The staff is sure Ani is a strong
individual and will resist the trial and will soon be released.
