Governor of Syunik province Surik Khachatrian did not hand in his
resignation, the correspondent of Aysor.am was informed by the press
service of Armenian government.
There have been press reports today that S. Khachatrian has submitted
his resignation.
According to the Prosecutor General’s Office, on June 2, 2013 the Goris
regional investigation unit of RA Police opened a criminal case under
the Criminal Code’s Article 104 part 2 point 6 and Article 235 part
1 in connection with the incident that occurred around 11 pm on June
1 outside the detached house of Synuk governor Surik Khachatrian in
the city of Goris. We would remind you that shots were fired during an
argument in the indicated place, as a result of which Avetik Budaghian
was killed and two other men received gunshot wounds.
Taking into account the fact that one of the men involved in the
shooting – Artak Budaghian is an employee of the state defense
body, a decision was taken on June 2 to transfer the criminal case
to the Investigation Service of the Defense Ministry for further
investigation.
Two residents of Goris – Zarzand Nikogosian and Tigran Khachatrian were
arrested on June 2 and 3 on suspicion of having committed the crime.
