    The deadly clash at the Harsnaqar restaurant, which claimed the life of
    a military doctor, poses a serious domestic policy threat to Armenia,
    according to Stepan Grigoryan a political analyst.

    At a news conference on Friday, the expert said he is very much
    surprised that the subsequent developments did not address the incident
    at all.

    Three military doctors were beaten by the restaurant's security guards
    on June 17. One of them, Major Vahe Avetyan, who the most seriously
    affected, died in hospital twelve days later. The restaurant is owned
    by Football Federation President Ruben Hayrapetyan, a member of the
    ruling Republican Party faction in Armenia's National Assembly.

    Commenting on the incident, Grigoryan said that the ruling regime
    is losing its sovereignty, by declaring a restaurant or any other
    institution its property. He called for the authorities' measure to
    do away with such kind of phenomena in the country.

    Three days after Avetyan's death, the businessman MP declared his
    intention to vacate his seat in the legislative. He submitted his
    resignation notice to the National Assembly on June 22.

    "It is necessary to wait for the authorities' response," Grigoryan
    said. "One parliament member's waiving mandate offers no solution
    to the problem. The question demands a systemic solution," he said,
    adding that he focuses on the phenomenon in general rather than the
    individuals in question.
