YEREVAN, OCTOBER 8, ARMENPRESS. The Investigative Committee is conducting an investigation into the egging incident of Hayeli press club’s office.

A video was posted online on October 5 showing a group of men egging the entrance of the office of Hayeli press club. The men also hanged posters on the entrance wall and stated that they won’t allow the media outlet to operate because of an article it had published titled “Aliyev’s belated but powerful response to Pashinyan”, the Investigative Committee said in a news release.

Police launched a criminal case on Article 164 Paragraph 1 of the Criminal Code (obstruction of journalists’ activities). The case was forwarded to the Kentron and Nork Marash Investigative Division of the Investigative Committee for proceedings.

The 4 men have been named suspects in the case. A signature bond has been imposed as a measure of restraint.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
