Man who shot at Turkish Embassy in Moscow made no calls for
aggression, claims relative
12:25 * 13.09.14
Arthur Mirzoyan, the Armenian businessman whoopened fire on the
Turkish Embassy in Moscow last month, was not driven by aggressive
intentions when committing the act, according to a relative.
"He has been residing in Russia for over ten years, and he is a
Russian citizen. He is a well-bred and adequate personality and did
not absolutely have any intention to demonstrate an aggressive
behavior or to harm anyone," the businessman's relative told Tert.am,
noting that Mirzoyan had not escaped from the scene after releasing
the gunshot.
Our source described Mirzoyan's act as an attempt to express his
protest, adding that the businessman is now ready to give account of
what happened. "His act was perhaps perceived as a provocation in
terms of the Russian-Turkish relations, but that's not absolutely the
case. Arthur considers Russia his second home country," his relative
added.
Mirzoyan, who is now in detention, is said to be ready to pay the
required fine to be in freedom while the prosecution continues, but
our source claims that a motion to release him was not properly
considered. Mirzoyan's relative said that the businessman had used his
personal gun to open fire, adding that he had neither been drunk nor
had any clashes with the police.
