Armenia –

A reporter of Araratnews media outlet affiliated with pro-government MP Khachatur Sukiasyan poured water on Agnesa Khamoyan, an MP from the opposition Hayastan bloc, at the ongoing peaceful acts of civil disobedience in Yerevan on Thursday.

She was interviewing the deputy when the latter offered her water to evidently calm her down. In return, the reporter angrily took the bottle and poured water on Khamoyan.

Commenting on the incident, the MP accused Khachatur Sukiasyan of “repeatedly sending” the young journalist to the scenes of daily anti-government protests to incite provocations.

“When I tried to calm her down again, she said that she only drinks water produced by "Sil" company, which is owned by Sukiasyan,” Khamoyan wrote on Facebook, sharing a video of the incident.
