Ruling party MP: Any manifestation of violence is unacceptable,  regardless of who commits it

ArmInfo. Hayk Konjoryan, head of the ruling "Civil Contract" faction in the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia of the eighth convocation, has announced the launch of a criminal investigation into the beating of his  brother. He also stated that he will file lawsuits against anyone who  spreads false information or slanders him in connection with this  incident.

"I would like to make a few clarifications regarding the videos  circulated online the day before yesterday and some of the comments  on them. 1. A criminal case has been launched in connection with the  beating of my brother. The matter is within the competence of law  enforcement agencies, and I am confident that all those who used  violence will be held legally accountable. 2. Any manifestation of  violence, be it physical, psychological, or any other, is absolutely  unacceptable, regardless of who committed it. 3. In the Republic of  Armenia, the only acceptable way to regulate labor or interpersonal  relations is the law and legal procedure. Any illegal manifestation  of the regulation of relations deserves condemnation. 4. All  circumstances related to this incident are subject to exclusively  legal assessment. 

Some political speculations are aimed at linking the incident or  various circumstances preceding it with my person, which is  impossible, since I can under no circumstances be involved in a  process that goes beyond the logic of the law and the rule of law,  regardless of whose side I am on. "I am in this process. This has  been and remains a red line for me. 5. I will file lawsuits against  anyone who spreads false information and slander against me, both in  connection with this incident and in any other matters, related or  unrelated. Any act of slander will entail legal consequences for  those who commit it," Kondjorian wrote on his Facebook page.
