"I left home at about 10 a.m. Suddenly two skinheads appeared,
knocked me down and started beating with feet," Hovhannes Galajyan,
editor of Iravunk newspaper, details the attack made on him.
The skinheads escaped when they saw people coming out of the building,
Galajyan says. The editor reported to the district office of the
Armenian police. The attack is connected with my professional
work, Galajyan assures, because, as he says, he has no personal
enemies. However, the editor does not clearly understand which
publication has caused such violence.
Armenian Aryan Union Supreme Board has issued a statement raising
its voice of protest against the regular encroachment of a mass
media representative.
The statement demands from the law enforcement structures of Armenia
to take measures and punish the criminals.
