Rouben Hayrapetyan, a member of parliament who is also president
of Armenia's Football Federation, testified to police that one of
his bodyguards severely beat Major Vahe Avetyan at the Harsnakar
Restaurant yesterday evening at about 11:30.
Avetyan is in very serious condition after undergoing skull surgery.
Major Avetyan works for Armenia's Ministry of Defense and heads the
Urology Division at the Yerevan Military Hospital. The restaurant
where the incident took place is owned by Hayrapetyan.
The Police Department's press office has told Hetq that a criminal
case of premeditated assault has been launched but that no arrests
have been made.
Hetq also tried to get in touch with Armenia's Football Federation
for additional information.
Federation Press Chief Tigran Israyelyan suggested that we speak
directly to Arayik Manoukyan, a personal advisor to Hayrapetyan.
Manoukyan, in turn, directed us to the management of the Harsnakar
Restaurant.
Restaurant Manager Samvel Hovhannisyan told us that yesterday was
his day off and that he couldn't tell us anything about the incident.
We tried to telephone Harsnakar Director Hrachyan Zohrabyan, but he
failed to answer our calls.
The Police Department added that along with Vahe Avetyan, Dr. Artak
Bayadyan, who works at the Central Military Hospital, was also rushed
to the hospital with injuries from the restaurant.
