He said, “I will cut your throat” and hit him. CP members beat the citizen (see:

At around 20:00 yesterday evening in Artik, right in front of the community hall building, members of the CP, including the deputy candidate and his son, brutally beat Robert Kocharyan’s supporter Hakob Harutyunyan.

In a conversation with “Hraparak”, Hakob Harutyunyan mentioned: “I was sitting in my car. The car was parked in a visible place. Artak Grigoryan, who works in the community hall as the head of the advertising department, leaves the community hall with his family. His wife, Zhanna Asatryan, who is a candidate on the CP list, and his son, Sipan Grigoryan, were with him. I didn’t do anything, the boy came, he told me: come out, there is something to talk about, I said: I know you, you are the son of such a person, what happened? He was in a drunken state, he said, “If I don’t even see you look at my family like that, I will cut your throat” and hit him. At that moment, about 40 people from the CP office gathered and started beating him. Artur Aprikyan was also present. I cannot claim, but I do not rule out that the reason for this attack is my political views and my previous conversation with Nikol Pashinyan.”

Harutyunyan mentioned that he never hit the CP members, he was the only victim of the incident. “I was taken to the hospital after the incident. They put a stitch in the upper part of my eye, my whole face is disfigured, the area under my eye is bruised. I didn’t even manage to call the police, I went to the hospital, they came after me. A case has been opened, I’m waiting for them to be called by the Investigation Department.”

By the way, the daughter of CP candidate Zhanna Asatryan, Lilit Grigoryan, is the secretary of the Electoral Precinct Election Commission. Hakob Harutyunyan mentioned that Lilit Grigoryan is participating in an active campaign, which she does not have the right to in her position. “The chairman of the same commission is my wife, Nvard Ghukasyan, in the case of a violation committed by Lilit Grigoryan, she applied to the CEC to be deprived of accreditation, and tonight a CEC meeting will take place in this case,” he said.

According to our information, Artur Aprikyan, who witnessed the beating and maybe also participated, is an employee of the Shirak regional administration, a student of Suren Papikyan, Hayk Konjoryan’s godson.

Let’s remind that a few days ago, Hakob Harutyunyan approached Nikol Pashinyan, accused him of targeting the church and the Catholicos, emphasized that the Catholicos is not his minister, whom he can fire.
