LEVON BARSEGHYAN. "ALL THE TALKS WITH THESE AUTHORITIES ARE OVER."
February 14 2014
"Can Vova Gasparyan say of what our militia is thinking about
when hitting a woman? You are hitting the woman in the street, and
detaining her. Do you think that you are working against freedom of
opinion? Sending the next application and reporting against these
authorities regarding the incident makes no sense. All the talks with
these authorities are over, no effective means is still known to me
and our organization of how to bring these dummy militia to order,"
said Levon Barseghyan, Chairman of Board of Asbarez club, referring
to yesterday's slapping incident to journalist Ani Gevorgyan at the
police department. According to him, over the last 12 years, there
were more than 200 assaults over the journalists, and only 3-4 of
them were half-disclosed. "In other cases, the police was unable to
disclose. And you are talking about reporting. Now, if Ani reports
against the police officer and the police starts examining the case
and the police officer who has hit her says "I swear for my father
that I have not hit her, and the chips were empty, we have returned
them empty. And then write papers, give explanation, all of these
instruments have long been exhausted." In the opinion of Mr.
Barseghyan, all the police actions towards preventing the awareness
of March 1 rally were not preventive, but promoted to large-scale
awareness. "Maybe it's special done and they do not like Serzh
Sargsyan and have decided that the notification be large-scale and
community to know about it. Now people are better informed about
what will happen on March 1." Referring to yesterday's RPA-ANC youth
incident, to the reaction of RPA MP Karen Avagyan that "from now on
similar displays will be answered adequately," Mr. Barseghyan said,
"The ideas of remarkable specialists of balloon should have made them
understand that nothing is left without consequence in nature. It
will be compensated for sure. If they find that physical violence
should be exercised against free expression of people's opinion,
they need to understand that while making this expression they
are also expressing an opinion and if someone does not like this
opinion, it will not be left unanswered and adequate response will
be given to it. But, at this time, he may not manage to call Vova,
or Serzh. We have achieved to a point that the man who considers him
an MP has decided that the physical force should be the answer of
free opinion. This man is unaware that the law is read that if there
is a crime in the expression, they should apply to court, rather than
exerting a physical strength." In response to our inquiry of whether
they have determined who was the one in civilian clothes slapping
the woman, the police officer Armen Malkhasyan just said, "Such cases
are in the attention of the police, and the investigation is underway."
