The gun used in the attack on the presidential candidate Paruir
Hairikyan could not kill one, Armenia's ex-ambassador to Canada Ara
Papyan told journalists on Monday.
The assassination attempt against Mr Hairikyan cannot have been
ordered by a serious organization - a Nagant revolver was used.
"Nagant revolvers were produced from 1895 to 1952. What serious
organization would order an assassination with a 60-year-old gun? You
cannot be sure if it will fire at all," Mr Papyan said.
The mastermind behind the attack should be looked for inside Armenia.
"The attack on Paruir Hairikyan has somewhat heighted domestic
political tension. Of course, it is not what some expected in making
that step," Mr Papyan said.
