    FATAL SHOT FIRED FROM INSIDE HOUSE OF EX-GOVERNOR SURIK KHACHATRYAN: ATTORNEY

    10.30.2013 19:31 epress.am

    "Watching the unedited video footage of the incident at former Syunik
    regional governor Surik Khachatryan's house, I am more convinced than
    ever that the last shot fired on Avetik Budaghyan, that resulted in
    his death, was shot from inside Khachatryan's house," the Budaghyan
    family's attorney, Hayk Alumyan, told journalists today.

    On Jun. 1, 2013, former Goris mayoral candidate Avetik Budaghyan
    was murdered outside the house of then Syunik regional governor
    Surik Khachatryan. Budaghyan's brother, Colonel Artak Budaghyan, was
    wounded. A criminal investigation was launched, and Khachatryan's son,
    Tigran, and his bodyguard, Zarzand Nikoghosyan, were arrested. Later,
    both men were released, as their actions were deemed as being in
    self-defense.

    According to the attorney, that the shot came from above is proven
    not only by the forensic examination, according to which Budaghyan's
    wound was slanted (that is, from top-down), but also that after one
    of the last shots was fired, the bullet hit the asphalt and made a
    spark, which can be seen in the video [AM].

    Alumyan said that his client, when wounded, had falled to the ground,
    saw a spark from the window of the house and heard a noise. The
    attorney said that Surik Khachatryan has denied Budaghyan's version
    of events. Asked how likely is it that the person shooting from the
    house was Surik Khachatryan, Alumyan said, in any case, according to
    the testimonies of Khachatryan's party, there was no one else in the
    house except for the governor.

    Alumyan showed the video to prove that his client displayed no
    aggression whatsoever; on the contrary, he tried to resolve the
    conflict. Thus, "it's absurd to release the prisoners on the basis
    of self-defense."

    "For a long time Avetik Budaghyan doesn't get out of the car, then,
    seeing his brother in a conflict, he comes out and pushes him and
    tries to get him away. There's no aggression in his actions; in fact,
    he played the role of mediator," said the attorney.

    Recall, Avetik Budaghyan was accused of attempted murder, but
    proceedings were dropped because of his death. Alumyan is appealing
    the inspector's decision establishing Budaghyan as guilty.
