"I have exercised my constitutional right, I have expressed my civil position and political assessment to the ruling deputy." Samvel Vardanyan

The incident, as such, probably lasted 2-3 minutes, plus or minus. I just turned on the live and said what I had to say verbally, I repeat, I tried to say it verbally, to which he hit me in response, said Samvel Vardanyan, who had an incident in public transport with KP MP Hakob Aslanyan, in a conversation with "Hraparak". .

Vardanyan noted that the first blow of the CP deputy was on his hand, as a result of which his phone, wallet and other things fell.

Hakob Aslanyan hit the citizen's stomach with the second blow. Samvel Vardanyan emphasizes that he only pushed back the hand of the CP deputy, he did not hit and could not allow himself to hit an elderly person: "I, a young, healthy man, could not allow myself to hit, besides sitting down I have absolutely no desire. I was not hurt by his blows, it would be funny, it could have been the maximum of his blows to me."

NA Speaker Alen Simonyan issued a statement regarding the incident that the young man who committed a hooligan act in public transport will be severely punished, to which Vardanyan said in response: "What should I answer to Allen Simonyan's statement? I smile, I smile widely, what should I say?" It is normal, we are living in such a period of repression that I do not rule out that they will come and take me away. but on what basis should they come and take me, it's just ridiculous, it can be seen in the live that that person is hitting me, I'm just verbally saying what I have to say. If I'm not mistaken, if no one canceled it, we live in a democratic society, we live in a democratic country, I exercised my constitutional right, there was a government deputy, I tried to give my civil position, political evaluation of their activities in a public place, the institution of public dress I tried to make him work," said Vardanyan.

The citizen noted that 4-5 people were protecting him in public transport, the same number were protecting the KP deputy, and the others remained incommunicado.

Let's remind that Samvel Vardanyan publicly shamed Nikol Pashinyan, whom he called a traitor when he saw him on the street, for which he was arrested.
