Two prominent supporters of the Nakhakhorhrdaran ("pre-parliament") initiative living in Yerevan's Arabkir administrative district, Suren Gevorgyan and Sahak Poghosyan, were attacked yesterday evening in their courtyard, according to the initiative's Facebook page.
The initiative claims that assailant, whose name was not reported, said it was their political activity that led to his actions. "You want to send our people to the dogs?" he reportedly said before throwing a vodka bottle at Gevorgyan, who sustained an injury. Gevorgyan and his attacker later went to the Arabkir police station to testify, after which Gevorgyan was taken to the hospital.
As reported by Nakhakhorhrdaran member Syuzan Simonyan on her Facebook page, doctors diagnosed Gevorgyan with cerebral hematoma. He has to remain in intensive care for 3 days.
