YEREVAN. - Armenia's presidential candidate, opposition National
Self-Determination Union Chairman Paruyr Hayrikyan-who is in
hospital as a result of a gunshot wound-showed resistance during
the assassination attempt that was staged against him and, had he
not resisted, a third shot would probably have been fired. Another
presidential contender, namely, National Accord party Chairman Aram
Harutyunyan, told this to Armenian News-NEWS.am, and noted that
Hayrikyan had told him this when he had visited him at the hospital.
"I am more interested in his health. But, also, he said it was good
that he had not taken out his own gun. He said if he had taken out
his own gun, the killer would have fired another shot, and this could
have left irreparable consequences," Harutyunyan added.
As Armenian News-NEWS.am informed earlier, an assassination attempt
was made against presidential candidate, opposition National
Self-Determination Union Chairman Paruyr Hayrikyan, on Thursday at
around 11:20pm in downtown Yerevan. Hayrikyan was shot and hospitalized
with a gunshot wound in the right collarbone.
Numerous senior officials, politicians, and other presidential
contenders are coming to the hospital.
A criminal case is opened in connection with the assassination attempt
against Paruyr Hayrikyan. It is launched on charges of carrying out an
assassination attempt against a statesman, political or public figure,
which-that is, the attempt-is carried out to end this person's noted
activities. This crime is punishable by imprisonment for 12-20 years,
or life in prison.
The National Security Service is conducting the investigation.
