Confess that You weren’t Able to Unleash the Actions of Muscled Skinheads: Styopa Safaryan

Did Ruben Hayrapetyan participate in the beating for us to charge him? Such a reaction was received from an RPA member Hakob Hakoyan who was surprised by the journalist’s question as to whether Hakobyan sees the fault of Hayrapetyan in the incident.

“There is philosophy of justice; there are law-enforcers, who are investigating this case and I think we all need to be patient. There is beating and heavily injured people. I am saying that this was a tragic incident,” he said.

Hakobyan also adverted to the observation of a Lurer.com journalist, who said that if Hayrapetyan wasn’t personally involved in the beating that RPA MP Samvel Alexanyan was personally part of the incident with Vardges Gaspari. In this regard, Hakobyan said, “Let them go to the court to decide. This is none of our business. I am saying again. This was a tragic incident.”

The other panelist of the press conference, a Heritage Party member Styopa Safaryan disagreed with Hakobyan and said that all that was a result of impunity.

“It is because of the environment of impunity that the institute of violence functions in the country. Confess, that you, having been a ruling party, weren’t able to unleash the actions of muscled skinheads.”
