In the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR), unidentified assailants beat up supporters of the "Pre-Parliament": two activists were hospitalized; two others refused from hospitalization.

Thus, Kerob Kazaryan and Mkhitar Avetisyan, supporters of the Armenian "Pre-Parliament", were taken, beaten up, to the Republic's Hospital in Stepanakert.

Doctors gave them first aid and took all the assays, the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent was informed at the hospital.

The activists were on their way to meet the motor rally Yerevan-Stepanakert, organized by the "Pre-Parliament". On the section of the highway leading to the city of Goris in the Kashatag District of the NKR, a group of persons in civilian clothes stopped the cars and beat up the passengers.

It should be noted here that on January 31 the opposition "Pre-Parliament" of Armenia intended to carry out a propaganda motor rally.

A few days before the event, the Union of Karabakh War Veterans issued a statement condemning the idea and treating it as "illegitimate and hopeless."
