YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 1, ARMENPRESS: Presidential candidate, Leader of
union for "National Self-Determination" Paruyr Hayrikyan shed light
on some details of the incident during interview with limited number
of journalists.
"My only wish is to let people know I feel good and continue to work,
as I always do. Doctors say, full recovery needs a long period of time,
therefore I will do my best in order not to postpone elections," he
said, adding that anyways he was constrained to accept possibility
to postpone elections for 15 days.
"I have some suspicions that this assassination attempt was initiated
by secret services from abroad which have pursued me for years. My
suspicions are based on their practice, as I was rather drastic when
saying there is no way, we will go to Europe and Europe is our future.
I guess with this emphasize some forces activated, seeing the increase
of the votes. I, personally, have no rivals, "Hayrikyan said.
"I have seen the committer. If I see him again I will definitely
recognize him. I saw a man who came closer and put something wrapped
in a cloth to my chest. At the time there was another problem. I had
to find a way. I started to defend myself. And even after shot I knew
I shouldn't stop and started to move. I was screaming for help. He
wanted to shoot me in head. Neighbors came out started to scream. At
that time I understood I should reach home to call. Seconds later
neighbors called emergency. I didn't manage to pray for the last time.
I prayed today, before operation, "Hayrikyan told.
"What I spoke with president. It is not a secret. Serzh Sargsyan
said all measured would be taken. I said that I have no intention
to postpone elections for 40 days. But 15 days are unavoidable. I am
constrained to accept delay for 15 days," Hayrikyan concluded.
