Armenian presidential candidate, epos specialist Varden Sedrakyan,
said he was sure he would be accused of complicity in the attempted
murder of another presidential candidate Paruir Airikyan after the
presidential election on February 18.
"I'm not being accused of anything yet. But after the elections,
after the announcement of results and departure of international
observers I will be accused of organizing the attempt on the life
of the presidential candidate," Sedrakyan said at a news conference
on Tuesday.
Sedrakyan said he would be charged on February 22-23. Sedrakyan did
not say what the accusation would be based on.
"A suitable background to accuse me is currently being created. I
don't know who might be interested in this," Sedrakyan said.
Sedrakyan said that Khachatur Pogosyan, 47 and Samvel Arutyunyan,
41, arrested for the attempted murder of Airikyan, worked as painters
and decorators for him, without specifying the time of the work.
The Armenian National Security Service did not comment on this
information to Interfax.
The attempt on the life of Armenian presidential candidate Airikyan
was carried out late at night on January 31. He got a gun shot wound
to his shoulder.
Criminal case was opened under Article 34-305 of the Armenian criminal
code (attempted murder of a state, political, or public figure to stop
his or her work). An investigation group comprising representatives
of police and the National Security Service was established. The
investigation is led by the National Security Service.
