    ZHAMANAK: KARABAKH WAR VETERAN ARRESTED DURING OPPOSITION RALLY

    09:11 * 05.11.14

    The Armenian opposition's October 24 rally in Yerevan's Liberty Square
    was not without incident, says the paper, as a quarrel between a
    policeman and a veteran of the Nagorno-Karabakh war matured into a
    clash that led to the latter's arrest.

    The paper says that the man, Martiros Achemyan, was subsequently
    detained on the grounds of hitting the policeman on the eye. The
    Investigative Committee's Public Relations Department is said to have
    later confirmed the report.

    Speaking to the paper, Colonel Khachik Avetisyan, a member of the
    Alliance for Freedom Fighters, said he knew that the policeman was
    plain-clothed and did not absolutely protect public order during
    the march.

    He added that Achemyan had quite recently left jail where he had
    spent 15 years on charges of murder.
