13:58 * 16.12.14
The Social Democrat Hunchakian Party (SDHP) condemns violence against
freedom-fighters and Armenian National Congress (ANC) parliamentary
group member Aram Manukyan, SDHP Chairman Narek Galstyan told reporters
on Tuesday.
SDHP members participated in a protest against violence in Yerevan
on Monday.
“It is a disgrace when a person is assaulted for his or her views or
political statements. We are witnesses and we hope that the relevant
bodies will punish the culprits,” he said.
In Armenia a person who steals a hen is sentenced to several years,
whereas an assaulter is released.
“The parliamentary group of the ruling Republican Party of Armenia
must be interested in resolving the problem,” Mr Galstyan said.
