Hayk Alumyan: We will appeal to the ECHR on your recent illegalities (video)

 

Advocate Hayk Alumyan said that an illegal decision had been made on the case of the incident taken place in front of Surik Khachatryan’s house who was the former governer of Syunik region. “According to the decision of the investigator Avetik Budaghyan was the attacker, but the assessment should be given by the court, not the investigator”. The lawyer requested the Prosecutor General.

“We will appeal to the ECHR on your recent illegalities, and do not hope that we will stop fighting as long as the perpetrators are not punished.”
Hayk Alumyan noted that Avetik Budaghyan’s father, Emil Budaghyan, had no procedural status in the case and was deprived of the right to obtain facts and to file a complaint. Advocate Hayk Alumyan was also deprived of the opportunity to challenge procedural decisions.

“The situation has become even worse. We rely only on the European Court. As a result of these mistakes, our chances to succeed in the ECHR are growing.”

 

It should be reminded that as a result of the operative-invastigative actions taken by the RA NSS bodies on July 3, residents of Kapan Garen Romik Atajanyan, Henrikh Shahen Avagyan and Ara Emil Budaghyan, who were suspected of attempting assassination against Surik Khachatryan, governor of Syunik region, and his companions on May  20, at 6:15 pm. It should be noted that Ara Budaghyan is the brother of the injured Colonel Artak Budaghyan and Avetik Budaghyan, killed near the governor’s house.

As to the case of Vahan Shirkhanyan, Hayk Alumyan mentioned that the trial was being delayed. “It becomes more and more evident that it is difficult or impossible to expect a fair decision in this case.”

Hayk Alumyan noted that the European Court had made a decision in the case of Vahan Shirkhanyan to conduct a quick trial, but the case was still delayed in Armenia.

It should be noted that former Deputy Defense Minister is suspected of participating in criminal cooperation created by Arthur Vardanyan and acting in his favor.
