«YEREVAN. – Hraparak daily has learned that Armenian National Assembly former member, businessman Tigran Arzakantsyan was beaten in Moscow, and he is in hospital, reported the daily.

“We got in touch with him. Arzakantsyan denied this news at first, but then it turned out that ‘nothing serious had happened;’ that is, this news is not that unsubstantiated.

“Tigran Arzakantsyan said he is now in Argentina, but he was in Moscow a few days ago, where he had been warned that there will be an assassination attempt against him. ‘And we prevented it; the ‘security’ did what needs to be done,’” wrote Hraparak.
