Pashinyan family newspaper on `Belarusian connection` to  assassination attempt on head of ruling party chapter in Balahovit

ArmInfo. The newspaper of the family of current Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has attempted to attribute a "Belarusian connection" to the assassination  attempt on the head of the Civil Contract party headquarters in the  Balahovit community of the Kotayk region.

The newspaper "Haykakan Zhamanak" (Armenian Time) reported that the  individuals who attempted to assassinate the head of the ruling party  headquarters in Balahovit arrived in Armenia from Belarus. It also  notes that a certain Tigran Mnatsakanyan is allegedly the perpetrator  of the operation, assisted by Vladimir Khudiyan and Gor Sahakyan.  It's noteworthy that the Investigative Committee only curtly reported  to ArmInfo regarding the Balahovit incident that three people had  been charged during the preliminary investigation, one of whom was  arrested.

The Armenian police press service, however, stated that the incident  occurred on May 1st and was committed by residents of the Ararat  region.

Curiously, a Telegram channel affiliated with the Armenian government  is attempting to give this apparently mundane incident a foreign  veneer favorable to the ruling party, claiming it was allegedly  ordered by Russia and Belarus. This seems a bit ridiculous, as who  would be the leader of this headquarters, this small community, to be  suddenly attacked at the behest of Russia and Belarus.
