Activists of the Armenian National Congress (ANC) Party were attacked
in the Yerevan Administrative District of Ajapnyak, Monday.
The activists were campaigning in favor of the ANC at the upcoming
elections to the Elders' Council of Yerevan when some twenty men
attacked and beat them, an ANC representative Gevorg Gevorgyan says.
The attackers declared it was the 'territory of the Republicans,'
he says. As a result, a 27-year-old Alik Sargsyan was hospitalized
with injures. Fortunately, his life is not in danger.
Gevorg Gevrogyan says that the ANC activists informed the police of
the incident, but the attackers have not been exposed yet.
In this light, the ANC Party has disseminated a statement saying
that the authorities create obstacles to the election campaign of
the opposition party.
"The authorities fell in panic after the latest congress of the
ANC and the wide response to it. The confusion of the authorities
shows that the elections to the Elder's Council may catalyze serious
political changes in the country if the opposition gains victory,"
the ANC states.
