    On 11th of March representatives of the Ombudsman of Georgia together with
    the leaders of ACCG visited the Aramyants hospital #1 of Tbilisi, where
    Karen Baloyan was placed after having been attacked on the 9th of March in
    Tsalka together with the group of other ethnic Armenian residents of
    Georgia.

    The Public defender of Georgia Mr. Sozar Subari asked Mr. Baloyan about his
    condition and also about the incident in Tsalka. Mr. Karen Baloyan stated
    that neither he nor any of his friends were acquainted with the criminals
    previously.

    The Ombudsman's Assistant Mr. Beka Mindiashvili had visited the scene of
    crime in Tsalka and presented his opinion about the crime. Mr. Sozar Subari
    offered his assistance to the victim of the attack and expressed hope for
    prompt conclusion of the case and a fair punishment of the criminals
    involved.

    As previously reported, on the 9th of March at about 18:00 an armed attack
    on ethnic Armenian residents of in the town of Tsalka of Georgia took place.

    The attack happened in the town centre, after the young men have just
    finished their tea in a cafe. Once the boys were about to get into their car
    they were suddenly attacked. According to eye-witness testimonies and also a
    testimony of one of the victims, there were about fifteen attackers and many
    of them were armed with cold weapons. As a result of stabbing Mr. Gevorg
    Gevorkyan, 23, was murdered and Mr. V. Sahakyan, 25, was wounded. Mr. Karen
    Baloyan, 25, was transferred to Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia, where 7
    hours after the injury he was placed in the Aramyants city Hospital #1.

    Wounded into his left lung, Mr. Baloyan had to travel four hours on a car
    on a wrecked motorway to get to the Hospital. In spite of significant loss
    of blood and bad injuries his condition today is satisfactory.
