Thursday,July11

There were no bullets in the gun of military unit commander, Colonel
Artak Budaghian during the June 1 incident near the house of the
then governor of Syunik province Suren Khachatrian in Goris, Artak
Budaghian’s lawyer Hayk Alumian told Pastinfo news agency.

In the lawyer’s words, the police did not find cartridges on Artak
Budaghian either, therefore he could not fire shots.

The lawyer added that in addition, the colonel’s gun was not assembled
on that day and those facts were included in the materials of the
criminal case.

In an interview with GALA Television Company, Hayk Alumian said that
on the day of the Goris incident, Artak Budaghian’s gun was unusable
so the colonel could not fire from it.
