GALAJYAN IS STILL IN RESUSCITATION DEPARTMENT

Social

The Editor of “Iskakan Iravunk” (Real Right) newspaper Hovhannes Galajyan is still at the resuscitation department of St. Grigor Lusavorich hospital.

Besides concussion of the brain and blows on the head, Galajyan has got other injuries.

He informed a reporter that a few hours before the assault a Manuk had rang him up and introduced as an “Azg” correspondent. He wanted to arrange a meeting with Galajyan.

“I invited him to the editorial office. At a quarter to 7 he phoned me and said he hadn't found the office. I suggested meeting near the Football Federation at 7 p.m. While I was descending the stairs a fellow in a cap kicked me on the head. I attacked him immediately and threw him on the floor.”

I had nearly taken the stick when I felt severe blows on my head and body. On turning around I saw another fellow with a stick,” Hovhannes Galajyan told A1+.

With numerous injuries Galajyan went to the editorial office and telephoned Hayk Babukhanyan. It is noteworthy that Hovhannes Galajyan connects the assaults with Hrant Khachatryan, the former chairman of the Constitutional Right Union (SIM).

We deal with facts rather than with suppositions. Two attempts have been made on Galajyan within a year. Every day he has been subjected to a psychological attack, insulted and humiliated, editor –in-chief of “Iskakan Iravunk” Hayk Babukhanyan informed A1+.

SIM Chairman Hrant Khachatryan condemned the attack and called on the authorities to reveal the real criminals.

“The accusation is a mere slander and Galajyan believes Babukhanyan’s words. We initiated our own investigation as we are also interested in the revelation,” he said.

“Babukhanyan seizes the opportunity to associate the assault with the SIM activity.”

Galajyan's mobile phone is confiscated.

The investigation is underway.
