Oragir.News editor-in-chief Georg Emin-Teryan was beaten in Yerevan today, November 7. The incident took place on Mashtots Avenue following a car accident.
A Lexus with license plate “10 EA 055” cut off Emin-Teryan’s vehicle on Mashtots Avenue, resulting in a car accident. Three passengers in the Lexus then instigated a fight and attacked the journalist, striking him with their hands and feet.
Georg Emin-Teryan sustained bodily injuries. He is currently at the Kentron Police Department.
The incident once again draws attention to the personal safety of journalists. When a journalist becomes the victim of violence, the incident is not merely a personal matter; it also concerns the safety of professional activities. However, the information published so far is insufficient to assess all the circumstances of the incident.
To understand the full picture, it is important to establish how the situation unfolded after the traffic accident, under what circumstances the fight began, and how the police response will proceed. For now, only the preliminary account of the incident is known, while further details remain to be clarified.
