Armen Martirosyan: I Started to Leave at the Request of the Police, at That Moment the Mob Attacked Me from Behind

Armen Martirosyan, the director of the Antares publishing house, addressed the incident that occurred last night when he was attacked by participants of a protest rally.

"...At 21:00 in the evening, I was heading to a meeting. There was a protest on Leo street. As soon as the crowd saw me, they started to curse and throw bottles in my direction. While I stood there watching them, no one dared to approach me. I appealed to the police to protect me. They instructed me to leave quickly. I complied with the police's request and started to leave, at that moment the mob attacked me from behind. They were very pitiful... I am fine! Thank you for the support," he wrote.
