ZHAMANAK: KARABAKH WAR VETERAN ARRESTED DURING OPPOSITION RALLY
09:11 * 05.11.14
The Armenian opposition's October 24 rally in Yerevan's Liberty Square
was not without incident, says the paper, as a quarrel between a
policeman and a veteran of the Nagorno-Karabakh war matured into a
clash that led to the latter's arrest.
The paper says that the man, Martiros Achemyan, was subsequently
detained on the grounds of hitting the policeman on the eye. The
Investigative Committee's Public Relations Department is said to have
later confirmed the report.
Speaking to the paper, Colonel Khachik Avetisyan, a member of the
Alliance for Freedom Fighters, said he knew that the policeman was
plain-clothed and did not absolutely protect public order during
the march.
He added that Achemyan had quite recently left jail where he had
spent 15 years on charges of murder.
