DEPUTY ATTACKED THE JOURNALIST
[05:02 pm] 13 October, 2006
more images Today another incident took place in the Parliament; one
more deputy-businessman threatened a journalist.
Learning from his colleagues who was the journalist of newspaper
`Aravot’, NA Deputy Nahapet Gevorgyan from the Republic party (from
the electoral area N30) approached Anna Israyelyan and tried to «get
even with her» for an article about him the author of which was not
Anna Israyelyan. The article in question was the one published in
«Aravot» by journalist Naira Mamikonyan where his name had been
mentioned.
When Anna Israyelyan tried to find out if the deputy knew whom he was
talking to (i.e. she was not Naira Mamikonyan), Nahapet Gevorgyan
started to shout, «Shut up, or I’ll hit you», and tried to put his
words into execution. At that very moment secretary of «Justice»
faction Grigor Haroutyunyan took him away from the hall. But even
after that foul words could be heard from the corridor.
Presently, thanks to the efforts of leader of the United Labor party
faction Gourgen Arsenyan Nahapet Gevorgyan finally apologized to Anna
Israyelyan in the corridor.
