The trial of the criminal case into the assassination attempt against
Paruyr Hayrikyan reconvened on Monday.
The state prosecutor motioned for a twelve-year prison sentence for
Vardan Sedrakyan, a thirteen-year sentence for Samvel Harutyunyan,
and a fourteen-year prison term for Khachatur Poghosyan, RFE/RL
Armenian service reported.
Hayrikyan's attorney, on the other hand, motioned for a payment of
Armenian drams equivalent to $106,000 to his client, in compensation
for causing damage to his health.
To recall, the opposition National Self-Determination Union Chairman,
ex-presidential candidate Paruyr Hayrikyan was wounded as a result of
an assassination attempt that was staged against him on January 31 at
around 11:20pm in downtown Yerevan, in front of his home, and during
the campaign season for the presidential election that was held on
February 18. First, he was transferred to capital city Yerevan's Surb
Grigor Lusavorich (Saint Gregory the Illuminator) Medical Center, where
he was operated on. Subsequently, he was taken to the rehabilitation
center of the Armenian Red Cross Society. Next, Hayrikyan headed to
Belgium for treatment, and he underwent a surgery there.
In the criminal case that was launched into this assassination
attempt, ex-presidential candidate, non-party affiliate, and epic
poetry specialist Vardan Sedrakyan, who is imprisoned, is charged with
organizing the attempted murder of a state, political, or a public
figure. Also, Khachatur Poghosyan is charged with attempted murder of
a state, political, or a public figure and with illegal acquiring,
possession and use of a weapon; and Samvel Harutyunyan is charged
with attempted murder of a state, political, or a public figure.
