No one has ever gotten away with raising a hand against or insulting a clergyman — Tigran Kocharyan

One year ago, on June 12, during the protest of the “Tavush for the Homeland” movement, police deployed special measures, including stun grenades. As a result of the special police operation, 101 people required medical assistance, according to the Ministry of Health.

Among the injured were more than 10 media representatives. Some of them were severely injured, while others had minor wounds. Cameras, microphones, technical devices, and internet connection equipment were damaged or lost.

We talked to Tigran Kocharyan, editor-in-chief of Alpha News, on this topic.
