    HEALTH CONDITION OF BEATEN MEMBER OF PROSPEROUS ARMENIA PARTY CRITICAL BUT STABLE - BROTHER

    YEREVAN, February 9. /ARKA/. Health condition of Artak Khachatryan,
    a member of Prosperous Armenia Party's board, is critical but stable,
    his brother, Artem Khachatryan, told reporters on Monday.

    He was quoted by Novosti-Armenia as saying that some positive signed
    were already seen and special measures have been undertaken along with
    lung drainage to ease breathing, and this will last two or three days.

    In his words, his brother has his lugs injured and ribs broken.

    According to the Armenian Investigation Committee, on Saturday at
    12:00 local time, Artak Khachatryan was kidnapped and beaten by a
    group of unidentified men.

    Artem Khachatryan ruled out possibility of criminal wrangles saying
    that his brother had no ties with criminals and oligarchs.

    "He was involved in public activity over the last five years," he
    said. He is a member of a movement called Kasetsum that is struggling
    against the amendments to the turnover tax law to which small and
    medium entrepreneurs are strongly opposed.

    The National Assembly, responding to the government's proposal,
    postponed enforcement of the amendments until July 2015.

    The postponement was prompted by the protests staged by SMEs. Artem
    Khachatryan denounced this violence not as a crime against only one
    person, but against the whole society.

    He, however, refrained from naming suspects. Levon Torosyan and Armen
    Nersisyan, representatives of Kasetsum movement, said a demonstration
    will be staged on Monday outside the government building.

    He also stressed that the movement is vigorously combating corruption
    and assumed that may be somebody was unhappy about this.

    On Sunday, the Prosperous Armenia's board issued a statement condemning
    the kidnapping and denouncing it as an impudent and cynical challenge
    tossed to political forces and society.

    "It is obvious that the political leadership of the country is
    responsible for what happened," the party's members said in their
    statement. Prosperous Armenia, a moderate centrist liberal-leaning
    party, was established in April 2004 by Gagik Tsarukyan, a prominent
    entrepreneur.

    In the 2012 parliamentary elections, the party won 36 of 131 seats
    in the National Assembly forming the second biggest faction here.

    Over a period between 2007 and 2012 the party was a member of the
    ruling coalition, but now it introduces itself as an alternative
    political party. --0-----
