"My friends and I were imprisoned in 2008 without any proof, and the
murderer has recently been released", Gourgen Yeghiazaryan, member
of the opposition Armenian National Congress, told journalists on
Thursday.
"Today the murderer who put a bullet in a man's back is set free.
No one says a word though there may be bloodshed again. But those
who have released the murderer will be accountable. As a rule,
vengeance helps when justice is helpless. If there is bloodshed
tomorrow, the responsibility will lie on those who have set
the criminals free. The responsibility will also lie on their
children", said Yeghiazaryan when commenting on the release of
Tigran Khachatryan, the son of the ex-governor of Syunik region, and
the bodyguard Zarzand Nikoghosyan, as well as on suspension of the
criminal prosecution. Yeghiazaryan added that the military prosecutor,
who has dared to state that there had been an armed attack on the
ex-governor's house must be accountable for what has happened.
By the instruction of Armenian Military Prosecutor Gevorg
Kostanyan, the Investigation Service of the Armenian Defense
Ministry is preparing materials on "the fact of giving a bribe to the
military prosecutor", Armen Haroutyunyan, Head of the Investigation
Service of the Armenian Defense Ministry, said at a press conference
on Sept 11. According to the recent media reports, the ex-governor
of Syunik region Suren Khachatryan "gave a 4 mln USD bribe to the
military prosecutor allegedly to stop the criminal prosecution against
his son Tigran Khachatryan and bodyguard Zarzand Nikoghosyan".
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,
a commander at a military unit in the NKR. There was another
wounded, Nikolay Abrahamyan, a relative and bodyguard of Governor
Suren Khachartyan. A criminal case has been 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, has been arrested over
latest shootouts in Syunik.
Earlier, the governor's bodyguard Zarzand Nikoghosyan was arrested
over the case. On June 3 Suren Khachatryan sent in his resignation
declaring that everyone must answer for their mistakes. He regretted
for failing to prevent the tragic incident near his house. On July
9, the brother of Avetik Budaghyan was charged with Article 137.1 of
the Criminal Code. Budaghyan denies the accusations against him. He
was released on the recognizance not to leave. Later on September 7,
Department for Major Cases, Investigation Service, Defense Ministry
of Armenia, set free the son and bodyguard of Surik Khachatryan. The
Investigation adopted a resolution saying that Tigran Khachatryan
and Zarzand Nikoghosyan acted in self-defense.
