November 7 2013

Shahen Harutyunyan, Shant Harutyunyan’s 14-year-old son, is telling
new details to Aravot.am regarding yesterday’s explosions on
Mashtots Avenue. “We definitely did not have bottles of petrol, but
the explosives may have been on both sides. At first, it was very
unexpected for me, because the explosive exploded in my father’s
pocket,” told Shahen Harutyunyan assuring that he was not aware of
their supporters having explosives with them, or not. At the same he
ruled out the possibility of dropping the explosive in his father’s
pocket by somebody else. To remind that yesterday Shant Harutyunyan
before starting the action stated that they did not take anything
other than “bottles of petrol, stone, sticks, Y-shaped sticks and
manganese bronze.” Later, Shahen added that they were planning a
peaceful march, and what changed the situation, he did not want to
say. Shahen Harutyunyan, referring to circulating rumors that the
explosives were dropped not by them, but by the police, he said,
“Who are making these statements? I do not know how it was, I was very
much messed up at that time, these explosions were a surprise to me.”

Shahen also said that shortly before the police called him and
told that his father wanted to see him. That was the reason of his
intention to go to the Liberty Square after their belongings, which
did not happen. In the coming hours, he is going to see his father.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
