of the same bloc Artur Poghosian were arrested. In some hours they
were moved to Samtskhe-Javakhk regional center, Akhaltskha.
According to some information not checked yet, the reason of the

Akhalkalak's Liberty street the Prosecutor's driver ran over by car
another deputy of Akhalkalak regional sakrebulo, member of United
Javakhk Andranik Abelian. As eye-witnesses say, after running over
by car the driver and several people in the car did nothing to take
Abelian to hospital, moreover, they fought with Nairi Iritsian,
Artur Poghosian and other persons who had come to help Abelian. By
the way, the deputies of Akhalkalak's regional sakrebulo were coming
back from the village of Samsar where they took part in the unveiling
ceremony of khachkar (cross-stone) dedicated to the memory of victims
