REPORTER REJECTED TO MAKE ANNOUNCEMENT
Gohar Veziryan, the reporter of “Forth Power” (Chorord Ishkhanutyun) newspaper brought to the police station to give a record rejected to answer the police officers’ requests. “I have talked with my lawyer Hovik Arsenyan and he told me that I can use my constitutional right and not give any statement. I have done it and did not answer to the police officers’ questions,” G. Veziryan told Panorama.am.
Note that according to the statement spread by the Armenian National Congress, National Assembly deputy Levon Sargsyan entered the 9/1 polling station at 10:25am by local time and ordered his bodyguards to take out the reporters of “Forth Power”, “Hayq”, “Times Yerevan” Gohar Veziryan, Tatev Mesropyan and Marine Kharatyan.
“To the reporters’ requests the bodyguards beat them, took the recorders and cell phones and ordered out of the polling station,” the statement says. According to ANC the reporters were going to apply to the police station.
It is also said that no beating dispute occurred in the polling station, they have just abused each other.
