Unzipped updates its readers on the recent beating of three military doctors [1] at a restaurant owned by one of Armenia's most infamous and controversial oligarch MPs. Following the death of one of the victims from his injuries, the blog posts a subtitled video detailing the attitude of Ruben Hayrapetyan, also the President of the Armenian Football Federation and known more commonly by his nickname of ‘Nemets Rubo,’ towards journalists and homosexuals while noting that violence from such figures is not unexpected or surprising [2].
