Arson Attack in Gyumri

Unzipped and The Armenian Observer report on an arson attack on pro-opposition civil society activist Levon Barseghyan in Gyumri. Both bloggers consider that the incident is connected with Barseghyan’s support for the pro-Ter-Petrossian local GALA TV station. The station has been fined for tax evasion and non-payment for broadcasting via a local TV tower.
