Agricultural Minister Verbally Abuses Reporter

Today, at the start of a government working session, Gagik Shamshyan, a photo-reporter with the "Chorrord Ishkhanutun" newspaper attempted to snap a photo of Agricultuarl Minister Aramayis Grigoryan and Sports Minister Armen Grigoryan as they entered the Government Building in Yerevan. However, right at that moment, the Minister of Agriculture turned around and shouted, "Hey, punk, haven't you taken enough pictures already," and then added that he'd "take care" of the reporter. Gagik Shamshyan reminded the minister that such words didn't suit a member of the government. In response, Minister Aramayis Grigoryan, responded in the same crude tone of voice and stated,"I know what I'm doing, you'll get yours." To this, Sports Minister Armen Grigoryan was heard to say to his colleague that the reporter was only doing his job. Aramayis Grigoryan was nominated minister under the ARF quota. Thus, reporters today questioned Armen Roustamyan, a member of the ARF Supreme Council, who was giving a press conference at the "Hayeli Club" about the alleged remarks of fellow party member Minister Grigoryan. Mr. Roustamyan responded by saying he wasn't a police chief but that he couldn't believe that the minister would behave in such a manner.
