Armenia investigation service clarification on parliament incident: One blow cannot be considered "beating"
news.amThe press service of the Special Investigation Service (SIS) of Armenia has issued a statement on its grounds for not launching a criminal case on the recent incident in the National Assembly (NA).
In particular, it is noted in the statement that the Court of Cassation, in a precedent decision adopted in 2012, expressed a legal position that "beating" is characterized by striking more than one blow to the body of the injured party, under which one blow cannot be considered as "beating" and lead to criminal liability.
