IRAVUNK NEWSPAPER ASKS PUBLIC PROSECUTOR’S OFFICE TO INSTITUTE
CRIMINAL ACTION AGAINST BROTHER OF DEFENCE MINISTER

Yerevan, May 25. ArmInfo. The Iravunk newspaper has asked the Public
Prosecutor’s Office, the Police and the National Security Service to
institute a criminal action against the brother of the Defence
Minister, MP Alexander Sargsyan.

The newspaper demands ensuring the safety of its correspondent Tagui
Tovmassyan, whom Sargsyan threatened in public a few days ago.

To remind, a few days ago Sargsyan attacked Tovmassyan in the corridor
of the Armenian parliament demanding the source of her information
otherwise she would face problems. However, asked if he threatens her,
Sargsyan said that he just warns. The correspondent proposed the
parliamentarian to refute the information in the newspaper or to apply
to the Court against her, In response, Sargsyan called the newspaper
nothingness and its correspondents complete nonentities, stating that
he will not “stoop to” write a refutation. In response to another
journalist’s attempt to support Tovmassyan, Sargsyan called him too
young to speak.
