Additional information:

On February 12, the editor of the news website Politik.am Boris Murazi said on his Facebook page that a group of people who introduced themselves as parents of the passed soldiers burst into his editorial office and said they wanted to settle scores with Murazi. The reason was his Facebook post that before the 44-day war started, Arayik Harutyunyan had sold his lands, which later ended up on the territories occupied by the Azerbaijani army. Murazi unequivocally hinted at the predetermined outcome of the war and betrayal. One of the men who burst into the newsroom, not finding Murazi, called him and threatened to kill him. The police are investigating the circumstances of the incident.
