Goris Court has brought charges against Artak Budaghyan over the
shootings near the house of now ex-governor of Syunik Surik
Khachatryan. Budaghyan is charged with threatening Khachatryan and
his family, as the Court claims that on 1 June 2013 approximately at
10:00pm Budaghyan, who learnt that his brother Avetik Budaghyan was
beaten up in Surik Khachatryan's car, drove to the house of the
ex-governor in David Bek Street by his VAZ 2106 (30 SU 994) and
threatened the ex-governor and his family with the hunter's gun. The
trial over the case will be chaired by Napoleon Ohanyan.
To recall, Khachatryan resigned from the post of the Syunik Governor
following shootouts in front of his house on June 2 2013 when the
former candidate for Goris mayor Avo Budaghyan was killed and his
brother Artak Budaghyan, a commander at a military unit in the NKR was
wounded. There was another wounded, Nikolay Arustamyan, a relative
and bodyguard of Governor Suren 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 shootouts. 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. On 7 September the Investigation Service
Department for Special Cases at the Defense Ministry of Armenia set
free Khachatryan's son and bodyguard claiming that they acted for
self- defense. Afterwards, Artak Budaghyan was charged with attack on
Khachatryan's house. Then he was falling under amnesty, but refused
from it.
