Armenian PM promises to find attackers on journalist Edik Bagdasaryan

Prime Minister of Armenia Tigran Sarkisyan, who has visited in the Yerevan hospital of Nork-Nork District journalist Edik Bagdasaryan who was beaten yesterday, has expressed his concern with the incident and condemned the attack on the journalist. Prime Minister has assured that the guilty persons would be found.

We remind you that on November 17, at about 8 p.m., three unidentified persons attacked the well-known journalist Edik Bagdasaryan, chairman of the public organization "Investigating Journalists" and editor-in-chief of the Internet-based edition hetg.am. He was hospitalized with his head traumatized.

The attackers were waiting for Bagdasaryan near his car parked near the office of the organization. When Bagdasaryan came up to his car, the three unknown persons came up to him without a word and started beating. One of them made a blow on his head with a stone. The latter managed to run away from the attackers. Edik Bagdasaryan managed to run back to the office, from where they called up an ambulance. A criminal case was initiated on the fact of the attack.

Mr Bagdasaryan cannot exclude that his journalistic activity instigated the attack.
