YEREVAN. - Upon hearing the news about the assassination attempt that
was staged against his father, Armenia's presidential candidate,
opposition National Self-Determination Union Chairman Paruyr
Hayrikyan - who is currently at hospital as a result of a gunshot
wound - , his son returned to Armenia last night to see his father.
Hayrikyan's sister-in-law, Karine Stepanyan, who was at the Hayrikyan
residence, told Armenian News-NEWS.am.
`The boy was in Armenia since a long time; he had come [to the
country] to be helpful [to his father] during the election campaign.
He went [abroad] to see his mother for a few days. And upon hearing
what happened [to his father], he returned [to Armenia] and he is
already at his father's side,' Stepanyan added.
`Hayrikyan was saved from being killed through his [own] resistance.
In Hayrikyan's words, the target was his head. Had the neighbors not
helped, their [that is, those behind this assassination attempt] dirty
deed could have served its purpose,' the presidential candidate's
sister-in-law said, and added that this incident is politically
motivated.
Incidentally, Karine Stepanyan informed that the police are
continually patrolling around the Hayrikyan residence.
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, in front of his home. Hayrikyan
was shot and hospitalized with a gunshot wound. He underwent a
successful surgery Friday morning, and a bullet - which was located in
the soft tissues of his right elbow shoulder - was removed.
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.
