Pre-parliament initiative concerned over attack on lawmaker Aram Manukyan
The Pre-parliament initiative strongly condemns the Thursday attack on Armenian lawmaker Aram Manukyan. “The acting regime has openly and cynically started implementation of mass violence, targeting at representatives of different political forces and civilians. In the given situation, Pre-parliament finds it crucial to form a violence prevention and response mechanism by the joint efforts of citizens and forces, who are not tolerant of violence," said the initiative. An unknown person attacked HAK Secretary Aram Manukyan and hit him near the lawmaker’s house in Yerevan on Thursday evening.S peaking about the incident, Levon Zurabyan said there is an available video tape which had already been confiscated. Aram Manukyan is said to have bruises on his face. He declines to comment on the assault at present. The assailant is described as a middle-aged man who reportedly did not say anything during the attack.
