Berdzor Incident: Karabakh police stop "hardliners" from Armenia
The opposition Armenian National Congress (ANC) party has condemned the
weekend incident in which members of a hardline opposition group known
to be seeking a regime change in Armenia were stopped and roughed up
by police while on their way to Nagorno-Karabakh.
The Founding Parliament, a successor of the initiative called
Pre-Parliament, said more than a dozen participants of its January 31
automobile march were injured in what it described as an unprovoked
attack by the police on the Goris-Stepanakert highway near Berdzor.
About four dozen vehicles were turned away by the police and could
not get into Nagorno-Karabakh to stage an announced "automobile
march" there.
The Nagorno-Karabakh Police said the law-enforcement bodies were
acting out of public interests and were actually responding to
people's concerns that the entry of Armenian opposition hardliners
into Nagorno-Karabakh could lead to "mass disturbances".
Strongly condemning "the violence against peaceful participants of
an automobile march", the ANC said it was the latest in a chain of
recent attacks on Karabakh war veterans and other public and political
figures with opposition views, including several ANC members.
"This chain [of attacks] shows that the regime that has suffered
disgraceful failures in all spheres sees the only way of its salvation
in the crazy idea of intimidating the public," the ANC said. "It is
regretful that the violence that took place in Berdzor was committed
by the NKR police... Apart from everything else, this fact may also
have a very negative impact on the democratic rating of the NKR in
the international arena."
Meanwhile, the Founding Parliament also disseminated a 12-minute
video showing the incident that was taken by a dashboard camera on
one of the vehicles.
