Representative of the Armenian National Congress youth wing Tigran Arakelyan underwent an eye examination at the Malayan Optic Center on Friday.

"Tigran has serious eye problems due to his eye nerve infection," Tigran Arakelyan's advocate Varduhi Elbakyan told "A1+".

According to her, Tigran Arakelyan's final conclusion will be handed to him in a couple of days.

As far as charging Tigran Arakelyan with Part 2, Article 316 of the Criminal Code [Dangerous assault against a state representative], Varduhi Elbakyan told "A1+" that he had recently met with the investigator. "He said that he would schedule a meeting to discuss the matter," said the advocate.

Let us remind that Tigran Arakelyan is charged with Part 3, Article 258 of the Criminal Code [hooliganism] which foresees 5 years in jail or a fine.

But on August 31, when this case was being examined at the first instance court of the Kentron and Nork-Marash districts, the body leading an investigation into the case confirmed that the injured policeman Eric Poghosyan had received light physical injuries, which corresponds to Part 2 of Article 316.

Tigran Arakelyan is currently at the general department of the "Prisoners' Hospital".
