Heritage Party has disseminated a statement wherein it condemns the
attack on Vilen Gabrielyan, a civic activist with oppositional views.
The Party qualifies Gabrielyan’s beating as a direct or indirect
vendetta – backed by the authorities of Armenia – against people for
their political views and protests against the outrage in the country.
Four unknown in masks attacked and beat up activist V. Gabrielyan
approximately at 10:00pm on January 18 in Yerevan. Gabrielyan is known
in social media as “Navak Chochogh” (“Boat Shaker”). Gabrielyan
received first aid at the University Hospital No.1 and left home.
