Though Artak Budaghyan is included in the amnesty, his defense attorney
Hayk Alumyan is going to bring the case to the court, Alumyan himself
said at a press conference in Yerevan on Wednesday.
"The investigation body is deliberately delaying the investigation
in order to dismiss the case. However, we will bring the case to the
court", he stressed. He added that non-edited video materials recently
uploaded in the Internet clearly demonstrate that Avetik Budaghyan's
murder was not a result of self-defense of the son of ex-governor of
Syunik region Surik Khachatryan.
Alumyan touched on Avetik Budaghyan's actions before the moment Tigran
Khachatryan started to shoot. "The record shows that Budaghyan's
actions contained no aggression, but the investigation body is trying
to prove that when shooting at Budaghyan Tigran Khachatryan was acting
for purposes of self-defense", he said and added that the record of
the incident presented to the public is edited. "Moreover, Avetik
Budaghyan's body has an injury and the investigators cannot explain
its origin. The thing is that the track of the bullet is vertically
down, i.e. someone was shooting from the building, the shooter was
not among the incident participants. Artak Budaghyan insists that he
saw the shot fired from the house", Alumyan said.
To recall, shootouts in front of Syunik Governor Suren Khachatryan's
house at 00:10am on June 2 killed former candidate for Goris mayor
Avo Budaghyan and wounded his brother Artak Budaghyan (who was in
a grave situation currently), a commander at a military unit in
NKR. There was another wounded, Nikolay Abrahamyan, a relative and
bodyguard of Governor S. Khachartyan. A criminal case was initiated
on the basis of Article 103.1 (murder) and Article 235 (illegal use,
storage and bearing weapons) of the Criminal Code of Armenia. Syunik
Governor Suren Khachatryan's son, Tigran Khachatryan, was arrested
over the latest shootouts in Syunik. Earlier, the governor's bodyguard
Zarzand Nikoghosyan was arrested over the case. Suren Khachatryan
sent in his resignation. On September 7 the criminal case against
Tigran Khachatryan and Zarzand Nikoghosyan was dismissed.
Charges on attacking Khachatryan's house were filed against Artak
Budaghyan. However, the case was later dismissed, because Budaghyan
was included in the amnesty.
