Berdzor beating: Will NKR Police investigate the incident properly? (video)
A1+ Company has interviewed President of the Stepanakert Press Club Gegham Baghdasaryan.
Is there any hope that the authorities in the Nagorno Karabakh Republic will give an adequate response to the violence exercised by the local police against the participants of an automobile rally organized by the Founding Parliament on Saturday?
Gegham Baghdasaryan does not hope that the investigation wills produce results, given the fact that the chief of police has been tasked with the internal investigation.
Details are available in the video.
Police in Nagorno-Karabakh stopped on Saturday members of the Founding Parliament, a successor of the Pre-Parliament pressure group, who were holding an automobile rally to Karabakh. Among the participants were also Jirayr Sefilian, a former commander of Shushi special battalion, and other veterans of the Karabakh war, who are said to have beaten up by the Karabakh police and young men wearing special police task force uniforms. The Founding Parliament says more than a dozen participants of the automobile rally were injured in the incident that happened on the Goris-Stepanakert highway near Berdzor. Journalist Anushavan Shahnazaryan was also hospitalized with injuries in Goris.
