“The question of October 27 is at the kindergarten level”
Eleven years have passed since the crime of October 27, but citizens of Armenia still suspect the five "romantic" terrorists headed by Nairi Hunanyan of committing the crime. Today many deputies refused to talk about the terrorist acts and some of them were not even in parliament on October 27, 1999.
The tragedy has had the greatest impact on the Republican Party as it lost its leader Vazgen Sargsyan.
"Eleven years have passed, but the "rusty" suspicion has remained in the society," NA Vice-Chairman Samvel Nikoyan told "A1+". According to him, if somebody knew something that wasn't found in the criminal case, the people would know.
However, Samvel Nikoyan still has doubts that the terrorist acts were directly organized.
Head of the Republican faction Galust Sahakyan is also sure that there were forces behind the terrorists. "It was a conspiracy of foreign powers that was unprecedented in volume and size not only for Armenia."
Speaker of the Republican Party Eduard Sharmazanov hasn't witnessed the events of October 27, but was present during the last trial. "They are villains. Problems are not solved that way. We must do everything possible to prevent such tragedies from happening again."
For Anahit Bakhshyan, the terrorist acts of October 27 are a personal sorrow because her husband, former NA Vice-Chairman Yuri Bakhshyan was among the murdered. "It was a tragedy and the society has been feeling the effects since then. The organizers wanted to send the message that they are going to keep power no matter what and are going to the lead the country in the direction that they want." Anahit Bakhshyan is rest assured that everyone believes that the terrorist acts were organized. Why haven't the organizers of October 27 been revealed in the past 11 years? In response, Anahit Bakhshyan said: "No government official is interested in the revelation of the terrorist acts of October 27. Why? The answer to that is similar to the answer of a child in kindergarten."
Let us remind that on October 27, 1999, RA Prime Minister Vazgen Sargsyan, NA Chairman Karen Demirchyan, State Minister Leonard Petrosyan, NA Vice-Chairman Yuri Bakhshyan and 4 deputies were murdered.
