Why Did Kocharyan Lie When He Swore an Affidavit That He Had Had a
Warm and Close Relationship With Yuri Bakhshyan?
May 14 2013
Robert Kocharyan's testimony regarding the October 27 case was posted
on websites again the other day. Robert Kocharyan mentioned in his
testimony what kind of relationship he had had with each of the
victims. With regard to Yuri Bakhshyan, he stated: `I knew Yuri
Bakhshyan as far back as when he was a deputy mayor, during Mayor V.
Khachatryan's tenure, if I am not mistaken. We had a warm, close
relationship.' www.aravot.am inquired of Anahit Bakhshyan, Yuri
Bakhshyan's wife, today whether her husband had really had a close and
warm relationship with the second President of the Republic of
Armenia. Ms. Bakhshyan assured that Robert Kocharyan was not honest,
since they hadn't been close. `I haven't heard Yura say that he was
particularly close with Kocharyan. After those events when I brought
all the papers on Yura's desk and read, yes, I saw that in some
places, it was written `a meeting with Kocharyan' and some people's
names were written next to that. So those were business meetings, but
they were not close. I don't believe that there was a warm
relationship. Certainly, they were acquainted and had a business
relationship.' Generally, Robert Kocharyan's testimony is not news to
Ms. Bakhshyan, since she realized during the trial that he was not
honest. Anahit Bakhshyan told us that after October 27, on November
26, Robert Kocharyan and the first lady, Bella Kocharyan, came to
their home to express their condolences and offer consolation. `That
day, I didn't suspect anything, couldn't understand how a man could
cut the branch he was sitting on. Afterwards, during the trial, many
things became clear for me, and I read that testimony again in
retrospect. Surely, he was not honest, and surely, it was not the
reality. He denies complicity everywhere, but the trial itself showed
that he was not that honest; the court denied all motions filed by our
attorney to call witnesses. I clearly remember what he said in our
home. He said that he would do everything necessary to SOLVE, he would
invite SOMEONE from outside, would DO this. And I naively said once
again that I knew that if he didn't do everything to solve it, he
would be suspected. He said he knew that. Therefore, that interview
was formal from A to Z.' Ms. Bakhshyan said that it had been Robert
Kocharyan's first and last visit to their home. Hripsime JEBEJYAN
