ARMENIAN TYCOONS DEVISED TRICKS SHIELDING THEIR BODYGUARDS FROM LAW

Armenian Prosecutor General’s Office has sent the case on violence committed
against Aravot newspaper correspondent Anna Israelyan and Photolur
photographer Mkhitar Khachatryan to Kotayk community’s first instance court.

It should be reminded that both Anna and Mkhitar were badly beaten by a
well-known tycoon’s bodyguards and barred from doing their work.

The case papers sent so far didn’t reach the destination. Iravunk newspaper
and Noyan Tpan news agency voiced alarm at the lost case. Liberty radio
station correspondent tried to clarify the case fate.

Nothing became clear: the case left Prosecutor’s Office but hasn’t been seen
in court.

Anna Israelyan says there is nothing surprising in what happened. “Our
justice is good at doing miracles and our tycoon’s resourcefulness is
unlimited. They devised new and new tricks shielding their bodyguards from
the law”, she said.
