Prosperous Armenia Party: Artak Khachatryan was operated on

 Artak Khachatryan, a member of the Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP) Political Council, activist of the "Kasetsum" ("Termination") Movement underwent lung surgery yesterday, says parliamentarian Vahan Babayan.

According to him, Khachatryan is now in the rehabilitation department and is suffering from heavy pains.  Babayan is outraged at the fact that the Police cannot expose a crime that was committed in the daytime in the city center with surveillances cameras at every turn. 

A criminal case has been initiated over the incident.

Artak Khachatryan, a member of the PAP Political Council, was abducted by the three unknown in masks on February 7 in the evening.  Several hours later, he was found near his apartment severely beaten up. PAP has disseminated a statement over the incident, wherein it strongly condemned the violence against Khachatryan. The Party blames the political leadership of Armenia for the incident that happened shortly after Khachatryan took an active part in the protests against the Law on Turnover Tax
