Politics

On February 12 over 40-50 armed men broke into Christ Gasparian’s office. Gasparian was severely beaten. To remind, Christ is the son of prematurely deceased Manuk Gasparian, Leader of the Democratic Way Party (ZhUK).

“We learnt about the incident from Christ Gasparian’s colleagues who didn’t want to give their names. “Everything happened in a twinkling of an eye. All of a sudden over 40-50 armed men intruded into the office and began beating Christ with empty bottles. Immediately afterwards, they took flight,” they said.

Minutes later Gasparian was taken to hospital where he was rendered medical aid.

“I tried to intervene and help Christ but they threatened me with a gun just on the doorway,” said one of Gasparian’s friends.

“I wanted to protect Christ with my body as I am a stout man and could resist the blows. But after hitting me on the head they forced me out,” said the other.

“We do not know the reasons for the incident. They hardly uttered a word. They only kept railing at us. Christ recognized some of them.”

To note, Manuk Gasparian had announced support for presidential candidate Levon Ter-Petrossian before his untimely death.
