Is the son of former official the author of the shots in Gyumri?
April 29 2014
Just now, the sources of Aravot.am informed that Arkady Khachatryan,
son of former head of Gyumri City Hall Sports Department Hrachik
Khachatryan, is suspected in the shooting of 27-year old taxi driver
Artak Marati Andreasyan shot a day before in front of Shirak
Water-Sewage CJSC, in the neighborhood of Boulevard district, Gyumri.
He is not yet brought to charges, but, according to the police, the
dispute did not contain substantial grounds, it was rather a
hooligan-level dispute. The suspect was found to be drunk, he got on a
taxi, then entered into argument with the driver, shuffling, and
caused a gunshot at the back part of the driver. Note that about 4
years ago, the suspect had a similar story by Vardan Ghukasyan in the
`Textile' sport club leased to his father for 99 years, where shots
were also heard, and this young man was sentenced to prison. As per
police sources, he is set free for about a year. It should be noted
that today since early morning, long meeting was held in the office of
Shirak Marz police chief, Colonel Vardan Nadaryan. The victim is still
in the intensive care unit, and has not given testimony, whereas the
suspect seems to be hiding in the meantime.
