Recently the press has again focused on Ruben Hayrapetyan and violence
by his security guards. Just search his name on the web and you will
find a long record of violence of different years. Even the study of
his behavior in the past decade reveals a cruel biography.
All the items one will finds are reports about crimes but we know that
this person is a protegee of the authorities, so it is meaningless to
speak about any punishment. However, Ruben Hayrapetyan was "punished"
once when he and his bodyguard beat Vardan Ayvazyan. After this story,
Ruben Hayrapetyan spent 3-4 days in a dirty holdover in Erebuni. He
refused to eat anything during that time. The second president Robert
Kocharyan punished him in a humiliating manner for beating up one of
his close friends - Vardan Ayvazyan. The latter was appointed minister
of environment shortly after this story.
After this story, dark clouds gathered above Ruben Hatrapetyan's head
in 2004 when the law enforcers searched for the missing body of Robert
Khachatryan, in Harsnakar Restaurant. The police interrogated more
than twenty employees of the restaurant, tortured and humiliated some
of them, including women. The police thus tried to get information
on the missing body but this case did not have a follow-up.
The scene of the greater part of these cases is Harsnakar hotel. These
are only those cases which have been made public. In particular,
Ruben Hayrapetyan's name is mentioned in cases relating to election
processes. A1+ online news portal recorded a particularly violent
incident in the 2008 presidential election.
"Levon Ter-Petrosyan's proxies Arsen Khanamiryan and Garik Ghazaryan
were taken to Harsnakar. Ruben Hayrapetyan met them there together
with 20-30 people who beat up the proxies severely. They were found
after long search and immediately taken to hospital. Arsen Khanamiryan
had been tortured severely and spent in the hospital a long time.
Ruben Hayrapetyan beat the proxies personally."
Now, the society is shocked by another incident involving Ruben
Hayrapetyan. Vahe Avetyan, 35, doctor, is on the verge of death due
to a severe brain injury.
"His life is in danger. I can't find words to describe with what
cruelty these people beat a person, I can't imagine...," the doctor
treating Vahe Avetyan told the Armenian service of RFE/RL.
