The behavior of the head of the Nor-Nork administrative district of Yerevan, Tigran Ter-Margaryan, and other officials, in the brazen beating of a citizen by a group of people is hooliganism and disrespect for the state and statehood.

"This is a result of high political patronage, which has allowed criminal morals to infiltrate the state system. The elite of the ruling force "Civil Contract" appoints people to positions who engage in "criminal showdowns" with their critics and distort the value of statehood.
