It seems the rich of Armenia don’t want anyone to see their wealth. RFE/RL reports that journalist Mkhitar Khachatrian was beaten up in Tsaghkadzor after taking pictures of the house of Armen Yeritsian, deputy chief of the national police.

“It was a very beautiful building and I wanted to photograph it,” Khachatrian said. “He told me that I can’t do that, saying ‘Do you know whose neighborhood you have entered?’. But I did take a shot and left the neighborhood.”

The reporters said they were later confronted by the same person at an indoor cafe as they were about to leave Tsaghkadzor. “The man who warned me against taking pictures recognized me and then called a group of other men. Suddenly one of them attacked me,” said Khachatrian, who had traces of violence on his neck and arms.

The report alleges that the men who attacked Khachatrian were part of the group who attached opposition protesters on April, in which journalists were beaten up and there cameras destroyed.
