    October 27 terrorist act: masterminds remain unidentified

    Today, October 27, is the 14th anniversary of the terrorist act in
    Armenia's Parliament, when a group of terrorists headed by Nairi and
    Karen Hunanyan murdered Armenia's Prime Minister Vazgen Sargsyan,
    Parliament Speaker Karen Demirchyan, as well as Parliament
    Vice-Speakers Yuri Bakhshyan and Ruben Miroyan, Minister Leonard
    Petrosyan and three MPs.

    The victims' relatives believe that the 2-year-long investigation did
    not answer the question about who was behind that crime.

    Yuri Bakhshyan's widow, Anahit Bakhshyan, told Tert.am that now that
    14 years have passed the investigation has not answered the question
    about the masterminds behind the crime.

    `My personal opinion does not differ from public opinion. No step was
    made to investigate the terrorist act and identify the masterminds. If
    course, I have speculations as to who they are and how the arms were
    found in Parliament and how the eight people were murdered,' she said.

    As to whether she believes that crime will one day be solved, Ms
    Bakhshyan said: `As long as the ruling circles include the people that
    are somehow involved in the `October 27' case, it will remain
    unsolved.'

    With respect to the problem of detection of the October 27 crime, Aram
    Sargsyan, brother of Vazgen Sargsyan, told journalists that `justice
    is supposed to convince the public that this one is guilty and that
    one is the victim. The public drew its own conclusions - who were
    interested in that.'

    He recalled the trial, saying. `Now speeded up, now delayed. The judge
    made ill, most of the witnesses disregarded and lawyers' petitions
    rejected.'

    As to who were interested in the crime, Aram Sargsyan said: `All those
    that satisfied their personal and materialistic ambitions, all those
    who were lucky.'

    According to him, the result is present-day Armenia with its
    `conspicuous wealth amid great poverty.'

    Asked about the persons interested in that crime, Hovhannes Igityan, a
    Board member, Armenian National Movement (ANM), told Tert.am: `If you
    come up to anyone, even a person not interested in politics, anyone
    will tell you why it happened and who were the masterminds.' Mr
    Igityan is sure that some people in the ruling circles are still
    putting obstacles to the detection of the crime.
