Aram Manukyan, a parliamentarian, member of the oppositional Armenian
National Congress, was attacked at about 8:12pm yesterday by an
unknown man, who struck him on the face several times and escaped.
The incident happened near the entrance of the oppositionist's house.
Manukyan says an unknown man of middle age attacked and beat him
up and escaped saying nothing. It is noteworthy that there was a
surveillance camera on the building that recorded the incident. Aram
Manukyan underwent medical examination at Erebuni Medical Center and
feels good. Armenian Ombudsman's Office representatives have already
visited the politician. The Ombudsman will shortly come out with a
statement shortly. Aram Manukyan will make a statement too.
ANC members link the incident with the political activity of Manukyan.
ANC Faction Head Levon Zurabyan told ArmInfo the attack on Manukyan
was a regular incident in the chain of attacks on veterans of the
Artsakh War Suren Sargsyan, Manvel Yeghiazaryan and Razmik Petrosyan.
"Serzh Sargsyan and his team are behind the attack. The law enforcement
must inquire into it immediately," Zurabyan said.
He said that the foreign ambassadors to Armenia have already been
informed of the incident. He is sure that the authorities try to
impede the nationwide movement initiated by the three parliamentary
opposition parties.
"With such actions, however, they increase the people's hatred towards
them," the oppositionist said.
