A criminal case is launched into the kidnapping and subsequent beating
of a police officer in Armenia's Artik city on January 10. And Shirag
Region's resident Anushavan Baghdasaryan is charged with kidnapping
officer Lukash Minasyan of Police Force's Artik Precinct.
According to investigation results, Anushavan Baghdasaryan, together
with his friends M. and A. Khachatryan, kidnapped Lukash Minasyan
on January 10. They subsequently took him to a cafe in Artik city,
where they beat Minasyan. And in an attempt to prevent the criminal
violation threatening his life and health, the police officer fired six

Prosperous Armenia Party MP Martun Grigoryan denies the information
that Getap village resident Anushavan Baghdasaryan-one of the persons
who was involved in the shots fired at an Artik city cafe on January
10-is his, or his father's, bodyguard. "I know Anushavan, but he has
no connection with me. I do not have a bodyguard," Martun Grigoryan
himself told Armenian News-NEWS.am. To note, according to Artik
residents, Anushavan Baghdasaryan is a member of Martun Grigoryan's
and his father's security personnel.
