On May 1, a bloody incident happened in Lernapar village of Lori
region. Supporters of the village head Vano Yeghiazaryan beat up
Norik Tamaryan injuring him with knife in his chin. The scuffle became
bigger when the villagers saw the 50-year-old Norik in blood.
According to the villagers, Vano Yeghiazaryan himself, RPA, and his
family participated in the scuffle, while the knife blow was given
by Yeghiazaryan's eldest son.
The police set a forensic examination for Norik Tamaryan and Gevorg
Melkonyan, who has an eye injury caused by stone hits.
Gevorg Melkonyan's lawyer said that Melkonyan saw Tamaryan in blood
and went closer to see what happened when the village head's people
attacked him and beat him too.
OSCE representative arrived in the village, but the village
administration and the police assured them no fight happened. But the
lawyers Lusine Hakobyan and Tigran Yegoryan told the OSCE observer
about the incident.
Yesterday the OSCE observers went to the village and talked to the
villagers.
During our conversation, the villagers told us that the village head
and his people have been recently seeking conflicts very often. The
victims of this incident are those people who have already spoken
against the illegalities of the village head and criminal proceedings
were launched into their complaints but the case was dismissed on
the eve of elections.
According to the villagers, the incident was a provocation connected
with the elections.
The ruling Republican Party doesn't try to solve the situation in
Lernapar which is too tense and can have unpredictable consequences.
