Republican Party of Armenia says that assassination attempt on mayor
of Gyumri was aimed against the party
It is quite possible that the assassination attempt on the mayor of
Gyumri, member of the Republican Party of Armenia Vardan Ghoukassyan
was aimed against the party, the RPA spokesman, Eduard Sharmazanov,
said during a press-conference today.
Sharmazanov can't say who might seek Ghoukassyan's life but he does
not agree with the opinion of the leader of the United Communist Party
Yuri Manukyan that the attempt was organized by external forces. He
expects the police to solve the crime as soon as possible.
To remind, the mayor of Gyumri Vardan Ghoukassyan and his escort were
attacked on the Yerevan-Gyumri highway on Monday at 10:30 PM. Three
bodyguards were killed, Ghoukassyan, his driver and vice mayor of
Gyumri Gagik Manukyan are in hospital in a grave condition. Witnesses
say that the attackers were in a gray Jeep without numbers. The
investigation is underway.
Ghoukassyan was returning from Yerevan where he had taken part in a
meeting of the board of the ruling Republican Party of Armenia. The
board met to discuss the RPA candidacy for prime minister.
