    HOW POLICEMAN HARASSED ACTIVIST - VIDEO

    Country - Wednesday, 28 August 2013, 10:04

    The deputy chief of police of Yerevan Valery Osipyan told reporters
    today that the policeman who harassed the citizen in the photo
    explained the incident otherwise. "He explained that they wanted to
    rip off his insignia, and it is not what you think and it is not true."

    In the video it is clearly seen that the policeman was holding the
    girl's neck with one hand, and the waist with the other hand.

    During the press conference, Shoghik Melkonyan, the lady in the photo
    told: "He was following me, playing a helpful policeman and tried to
    have me walk away from the street, he said I wasn't feeling well,
    I needed some water. I didn't even feel how it happened. I learned
    later when my friends showed me the photo. One of my friends came and
    took me away but since the policeman was following me all the time,
    saying "you're not feeling well, what do you need, do you want me to
    bring some water?", he used my weakness not to miss the chance. Even
    a group of red beret policemen tried to get me in the police car by
    force, I resisted, and the chief of Arabkir precinct Araik Petrosyan
    came up to me, and spoke in my ear on purpose not to let others hear
    his term of abuse, and to make one ashamed to tell others what he
    said, and when they were trying to get me into the car, he whispered
    abuse, which I immediately reported. I urge all the women and girls
    who were abused by Araik not to be ashamed and shout it loud because
    it is not our words to be ashamed of repeating them. It is the only
    way of handling such cases."

    Either Valery Osipyan did not see the video or he is reluctant to
    admit that the policeman abused the citizen, which is a crime.
