YEREVAN. – Haykakan Zhamanak daily’s journalist Hayk Gevorgyan is currently waiting for his questioning, but under the verified status, Gevorgyan himself stated during a press conference on Tuesday.

He will see to it that the case—with respect to his hitting a citizen with his car and leaving him helpless—be fully exposed. “I should leave a man helpless and go? Such thing is theoretically impossible. The case will be exposed, so that no stain is left on my reputation,” Gevorgyan said.       

The journalist also informed that he does not place much hope on Armenia’s courts, and that he is prepared to file a petition even with the European Court. 

Hayk Gevorgyan also spoke about several violations against him, and stressed that what transpired with him was conditioned on his journalistic activities.

To note, Gevorgyan was taken into custody on February 3 and transferred to prison. He is accused of hitting a citizen with his car. But Haykakan Zhamanak’s editorial staff stated that this was untrue. Gevorgyan was released from prison, on Monday, on signature bond.
