    ARMENIA'S OMBUDSMAN CONCERNED OVER VIOLENCE AGAINST JOURNALIST

    17:27 * 13.02.14

    Armenia's Ombudsman Karen Andreasyan addressed a recent incident
    which involved a journalist.

    "Use of violence against journalists is a penal and condemnable
    act, especially when government officials are involved in crimes,"
    Andreasyan wrote in a Facebook message.

    "We are seriously concerned over the incident that happened to Ani
    Gevorgyan, correspondent for the Chorrord Ishkhanutyun newspaper,"
    the message says.

    Law-enforcement agencies' prompt and strong reaction is the only way
    of preventing such crimes.

    "Following the principle of presumption of innocence, we expect the
    Special Investigation Service of Armenia to conduct a comprehensive
    investigation and inform the public of the results."
