JOURNALISTS- ON THE EVENTS IN BERDZOR
12:59 | February 3,2015 | Politics
Even the journalist's badge didn't help the photojournalist of "Noyan
Tapan" Anushavan Nikoghosyan to avoid the beating by policemen on
Artsakh border on January 31.
Today Anushavan Nikoghosyan told that when he was hit in the back, he
showed his badge but it didn't matter. He was hit for the second time.
"Six policemen were hitting together. They tore the badge and the
camera was lost,"- he told.
The operator of the Founding Parliament Arsen Khechoyan reminded
that on that day armed people had been already standing on the road,
"They were well-prepared and filmed everything, they said that all
the journalists could pass to the other side, but I didn't pass,"-
he remembers.
Arsen Khechoyan said that they were asked to show the journalist's
badge and the policemen avoided the cameras, "No one wanted to
be shot."
Today neither he nor Anushavan Shahnazaryan has cameras.
Anushavan Shahnazaryan calls on to return his camera for the further
professional activities but he won't apply to the court, "I leave it
on their conscience."
Anushavan still has got a headache, at night he had a temperature,
but in general he feels good.
