    Armenian photo-journalist Gagik Shamshyan was subjected to violence
    while photographing prosecutors and other top officials arriving at
    the collegium of the Chief Prosecutor's staff due in the Prosecutor
    General's Office on February 24.

    After forbidding Gagik Shamshyan to photograph him a 30-year-old
    fellow swore and hit the photo-journalist. The photo-journalist
    managed to take the photo of the stranger intervening with his
    professional activity.

    Gagik Shamshyan reported Prosecutor General Aghvan Hovsepyan on the
    incident during today's news conference.

    "After I introduced myself the stranger said he knows me quite well
    and ordered to hide my camera. Then he swore and kicked me. I apply
    to you, Mr. Hovsepyan, as I do not confide in the police," announced
    Gagik Shamshyan.

    The Prosecutor General demanded that the photo-journalist present
    the photo, a written report on the incident including the records
    and material at hand so that they could investigate the matter.

    Later we came to know that the stranger did not work in the
    Prosecutor's Office. A1+ is hopeful that the investigation will
    identify the assailant.
