Minister 'pistol whipped' power workers

Armenia's culture minister has been sacked after allegedly pistol-whipping workers at his local electricity board following a power cut at his home.

Minister Ovik Oveyan stormed into the headquarters of the Armenskiye Electroseti electricity company in the capital Yerevan with his son and two friends after arguing with staff over the phone after they failed to immediately turn the power back on.

According to witnesses, Oveyan beat up at least two employees, hitting them across the head with the handle of his pistol.

Armenia President Robert Kocharian has now sacked the minister, deeming his behaviour "inappropriate for a Culture Minister".

In September, the mayor of a small Armenian town was arrested after he was accused of shooting and killing the head of the local electricity board. The mayor was later re-elected despite being jailed.

About the mayor beeing re-elected, that's kinda fucked up... I doubt there is any way he could have been reelected without people on the outside cheating for him... wtf is this culture ?
