HAYRIKYAN NAMES THE PERSON WHO SHOT AT HIM
06:38 pm | Today | Politics
Leader of the National Self-Determination Union, ex-presidential
candidate in Armenia, Paruyr Hayrikyan, today announced in court that
the person who shot at him during the January 31 attempt was Khachatur
Poghosyan, one of the two suspects detained in connection with the
high-profile assassination attempt on the ex-presidential candidate.
Hayrikyan said that Poghosyan was lucky enough not to have killed him;
otherwise, he would live with ‘a heavy burden-the guilt of sin-upon
the conscience.’
The ex-presidential candidate again reiterated that the attempt had
been ordered by Russia. In his testimony, Hayrikyan also expressed
his surprise at the statement of one of the defendants in the case,
another presidential contender Vardan Sedrakyan who had said that
his car is more expensive than Hairikyan’s life
