PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE CONDEMNS HAYRIKYAN ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT
10:57 ~U 01.02.13
Armenia's Presidential candidate Aram Harutyunyan restrains from
forwarding any hypotheses about the assassination attempt of the
presidential candidate Paruyr Hayrikyan and who is behind it, but
said the person who wants Armenia's good would never do that.
"I condemn this step. To find out who is standing behind it we should
wait for the investigation. We can always present hypothesis but I
do not think it is the convenient moment to comment on it," he said,
adding that the person who wants Armenia's good would never do it. At
the moment of conversation Harutyunyan was going to visit Hayrikyan.
Hayrikyan, who is the leader of the National Self-Determination Union
party, was shot and wounded by unknown individuals at midnight. He was
later rushed to hospital, where several other presidential runners,
as well as government officials, including speaker of the National
Assembly Hovik Abrahamyan, Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan visited him.
Speaking to Tert.am earlier, a member of his campaign headquarters,
Karo Yeghnukyan, said Hayrikyan has not seen anyone and cannot say
who stands behind it.
