Incident at “Hraparak” daily
Editor-in-chief of "Hraparak" daily newspaper Armine Ohanyan has submitted an explanation to the police for what happened today.
This morning, president of the law defense coordinating council of the "Zinvor" NGOs association Margarita Khachatryan came to the editorial office with a man and two women. She was filled with indignation over the article "Was there a beating?" printed in today's edition of "Hraparak".
Using its sources, the newspaper had written the following: "Margarita Khachatryan and the commanders got into a dispute at one of the military units of Nagorno-Karabakh and it reached the point where they started pushing and beating each other."
Author of the article Sona Harutyunyan doesn't understand the reason for the indignation since there were two sides of the story.
"We wrote the information we received from our sources and her response denying that information. She entered the office, started screaming, ripping papers on the desk, threw them at the journalists and used swear words. We simply didn't understand what she was demanding," said Sona Harutyunyan.
Editor-in-chief Armine Ohanyan said Margarita Khachatryan came into the office and confirmed that everything was accurate. Khachatryan also said she would kill Ohanyan and even injured her.
The office correspondents called the police, but Margarita Khachatryan had already left when they arrived. Despite the threats, the editor is not going to stay silent.
"The important thing is that this incident can lead to consequences. She can do the same thing again," said Armine Ohanyan.
