September 6 2013
Shortly before, unknown persons attacked and beat social activists
Haykak Arshamyan and Suren Saghatelyan. In response to the question of
"Aravot" as to where, in what circumstances and what was the reasoning
of the incident occurred, the historian and the employee of the Yerevan
Press club Haykak Arshamyan currently being in the hospital N1 told
that the incident took place in the yard of his house, when he was
parking his car. "Six people attacked me saying "are you a Diaspora
man, hey bro!" and started to hit"- said he. At this very moment,
Haykak Arshamyan and Suren Saghatelyan are in the hospital and have
applied to the police. According to Mr. Arshamyan, they certainly
do not know those who beat, they were "six bull necks", but he is
convinced that the reason of the beat was their recent activism in
the protest actions against Armenia's joining the Customs Union,
particularly the participation in the demonstration held yesterday in
front of RA Presidential House. "Suren got head injuries, my cheek
is torn from inside,"- said Haykak Arshamyan. Photos from Suren
Saghatelyan's and Haykak Arshamyan's Facebook pages. The video,
