Anushavan Shahnazaryan, a journalist working with Yerevan-based Noyan Tapan news agency who was injured in Saturday’s incident, on the way to the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, did not receive life-threatening injuries. Shahnazaryan was sent home after undergoing examination at Erebuni Medical Center in Yerevan on Sunday, Gayane Arakelyan, the editor-in-chief of the news agency, told armtimes.com. She says they expect to receive the results of examinations from Surb Grigor Lusavorich and Erebuni medical centers later today. “Doctors said Anushavan’s life is not endangered, and there was no reason to stay in hospital. As Anushavan was complaining of headaches we thought he might have a hematoma. We are waiting for the results,” she said. Police in Nagorno-Karabakh stopped on Saturday members of the Founding Parliament 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.
