According to Shamshyan.com, on August 7, 47-year-old Syrian-Armenian Sarkis Hannian was brutally beaten in Arabkir Administrative District of Yerevan.

Hannian’s relatives told Shamshyan.com that they would never imagine that Sarkis could be brutally beaten in front of his child for a parking spot in Armenia, especially in Yerevan.

“The incident took place on August 7 between 10:00 and 10:30. The people who beat Sarkis presented themselves as owners of a certain store. They had been convincing Sarkis to not call the police and telling him that they would take care of all the expenses at the hospital, but they didn’t. Sarkis is currently at Slavmed Medical Center. We’re going to call the district police today. We believe the police will find the criminals and punish them by law,” the relatives said.
