"Judge for Yourself: Who Are the Assault Victims?" Says Lawyer of Malakyan Brothers

The lawyer of the Malakyan brothers, Gor Mikaelyan, wrote on his Facebook page: "Today marks 72 hours since the arrest of footballers Malakyan brothers. After 2 days of intensive investigative actions, last night charges were brought against the Malakyan brothers. The essence of the charges is that the Malakyan brothers allegedly assaulted traffic police officers and then committed hooliganism, during which they assaulted investigators from the investigative department of the National Security Service of Armenia, and subsequently attacked the traffic police officers who arrived for assistance, as well as members of the special police unit. In effect, representatives from almost all law enforcement agencies were involved. Now, I will publish some of the photographs of the Malakyan brothers, and you can judge for yourselves who the assailants are and who the victims of the assault are. After all this, the investigative body is preparing to submit a request to incarcerate both brothers from one family.

P.S. The national football team is preparing for the upcoming crucial football matches in such an atmosphere."
