    The group of assailants who attacked the members of the Armenian
    National Congress (HAK) in Yerevan's Malatia-Sebastia district
    (Constituency N 7) on Sunday acted under the direct order of the
    Republican Party (HHK) candidate Samvel Alexanyan, HAK candidate in
    Constituency N 1 Gayane Arustamyan said on Monday.

    The candidate today urged the Central Election Commission to register
    yesterday's incident and withdraw the candidacy of Samvel Alexanyan
    from Constituency N7.

    "At the same time, I declare here and now that I lay the entire
    burden of responsibility for the incident on Serzh Sargsyan," said
    Gayane Arustamyan.

    The opposition candidate had invited two international observers
    from the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights
    (OSCE/ODIHR) who refrained from commenting on the incident and kept
    silent throughout the news conference.

    "I demand that the European People's Party (EPP) respond to the
    incident. I also demand that the EPP -affiliated Armenian Rule of Law
    (OYK) and Heritage parties evaluate the occurrence," she said.

    A criminal case has been instituted in connection with yesterday's
    incident in Malatia-Sebastia district during which a group of people
    attacked and injured HAK candidates Gayane Arustamyan and Babken
    Garoyan who were engaged in house-to-house canvassing.
