Parliamentary opposition forces, Heritage, Prosperous Armenia,
ARFD Dashnaktsutyun and Armenian National Congress parties, have
launched a signature campaign for an extraordinary meeting to discuss
the situation in the country in the light of the latest attacks on
oppositionist MP Aram Manukyan and some Artsakh War veterans.
The oppositionist parliamentarians boycotted the Government-initiated
meeting of the Parliament. They managed to persuade the parliament
majority, the ruling Republican Party of Armenia, to come out with
a joint statement on the above incidents.
Yerevan Police have detained Arshak Svazyan (born in 1973) suspected
of beating Aram Manukyan. MP Aram Manukyan was beaten up in front of
his home entrance in the evening on 11 December. ANC representatives
claim the authorities are behind the incident.
