Advisor to the mayor of Yerevan Gor Vardanyan continues to insist that he prevented, when applying violence towards a female member of the Council, a terrorist attack during the session of the Yerevan council of Elders. "There is no concept of women, men or children in terrorism. If a person allows himself/herself to behave like that in public places or in state bodies, then the concept of a man, woman, child remains excluded," Gor Vardanyan said to "A1 +". On that day a clash took place between the members of Yerkir Tsirani and Republican faction. The women of the Yerkir Tsirani faction brought sewage water from the Nubarashen community, trying to draw attention to the problem that had not been resolved for years in the community. "If you watch the videos well, I do not pull their hair, I just wanted to remove them from the hall," said Vaspurakan Martirosyan, a participant of the incident. Deputy Mayor of Yerevan Davit Ohanyan added "I have seen a person who has gone too far trying to act in an unbalanced state; the law enforcement officers will asses the action. I just tried to prevent it." A criminal case was initiated on hooliganism and beatings. While a criminal case would be initiated, the mayor's advisor Gor Vardanyan gave an explanation to the law enforcement agencies on February 13. "I am one of the people who find that a legal process should be given to this case." However, he has not been summoned for questioning yet. The two sides submitted a report to the police on the occasion of the Yerevan City Council sitting.
