Human rights activist Ruben Melikyan demands that the video recording of today’s incident between Alen Simonyan and Artur Danielyan in central Yerevan immediately and completely. He posted the following on his Facebook page:

“The incident that took place between Alen Simonyan and Artur Danielyan in central Yerevan today was taped with security cameras belonging to a private organization. In response to an inquiry from lawyers, we were told that the video recordings have been seized by law-enforcement authorities.

Taking into consideration the nature of the incident and the great public resonance, I demand that the video recording be released immediately and completely. We will consider the delay of release with the excuse of “secret of preliminary investigation” illegitimate since, in this case, the right of the public to know the truth is absolutely overriding.”

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
