Heritage: Authorities bear responsibility for recent attacks on opposition figures
The opposition Heritage party has issued a statement condemning the recent series of attacks against opposition figures.
“As you know, unknown assailants attacked and beat up freedom fighters Manvel Yeghazaryan, Razmik Petrosyan and Suren Sargsyan and Secretary of the Armenian National Congress (HAK) faction, Aram Manukyan, this week.
It is noteworthy that the aforesaid people are against the government’s policy and are members of the opposition trio who support the troika’s policies.
We strongly condemn the attacks and call for a speedy investigation into them that will help identify and punish the attackers, otherwise the assaults can be viewed as government-sponsored crackdown on citizens’ right to freedom of expression,” the party said laying the responsibility for the attacks on the authorities.
