DAVIT SANASARYAN: THEY WILL NOT SACRIFICE KHACHATRYAN
05:38 PM | TODAY | POLITICS
A group of activists today held a protest action in front of the
government building, demanding criminal punishment for former governor
of Syunik province, Surik Khachatryan.
“They can sacrifice Khachatryan’s son and his bodyguards but since
Khachatryan has been a public official and a prominent representative
of the ruling Republican party in the province, they want to cleanse
him of the crime so that it will not tarnish the authorities,” said
activist Davit Sanasaryan, a member of “Barev Yerevan” alliance.
The Armenian government decided today to releive Surik Khachatryan
from the post of Syunik Governor in accordance with his resignation
paper submitted earlier this week.
The move comes following public clamour over a June 1 shootout near
Khachatryan’s house in Goris that left a former mayoral candidate
dead and his brother wounded.
