The latest attacks on the Artsakh War veterans Suren Sargsyan, Razmik
Petrosyan and Manvel Yegiazaryan as well as on Aram Manukyan, MP from
the Armenian National Congress (ANC), fit into the policy and work
style of the Eurasian Economic Union, Hovhanness Igityan, a member
of the ANC Board, told reporters, Tuesday, Igityan says the attacked
Artsakh War veterans are the people who are able to consolidate and
severely punish those who attacked them. The expert believes that
such attacks are connected with Armenia's accession to the EEU,
as such measures are practiced in Russia and other countries. "Aram
Manukyan voted for accession to the EEU. The attack on him was one
of the fruits of that choice," he said.
Manvel Badalyan, an MP from the Republican Party, in turn, called
Igityan's conclusions not serious and condemned the attacks on the
oppositionists. He urged a comprehensive inquiry into the incidents
to expose the reason of the attacks and the people behind them.
To recall, the unknown have burnt the cars of four oppositionists
lately, beaten up three Artsakh War veterans who harshly criticized
the authorities, and attacked oppositionist parliamentarian Aram
Manukyan and later his comrade Ashot Piliposyan. The police have
detained Arshak Svazyan (born in 1973) suspected of beating Aram
Manukyan. It is widely rumored by local media outlets that Svazyan
is the former driver of Arakel Movsisyan (Shmays), MP from Republican
Party of Armenia. Meanwhile, Movsisyan denies these reports and swears
that he bears no relation to the attack on Manukyan.
