Former mayor: They turned the eyrie into a hencoop
What other "heroic acts" should Syunik governor Surik Khachatryan perform to be made accountable by the authorities? The question was posed by Samvel Harutyunyan, mayor of Goris city in 1992-94.
He says Khachatryan's "feats"are continued by his son who was arrested earlier on Monday in connection with the deadly shootout.
"They have turned the eyrie into a hencoop," says the former mayor.
Avetik (Avo) Budaghyan, a former mayoral candidate in Goris, was killed in the result of Saturday's shootout outside the house of Syunik Governor Surik Khachatryan. His brother Artak Budaghyan, a commander at a military unit in Karabakh, and Nikolay Abrahamyan, a relative and bodyguard of Surik Khachatryan, were wounded in the gunfight. Syunik governor's son Tigran Khachatryan and his bodyguard Zarzand Nikoghosyan were arrested today in relation to the murder of Avo Budaghyan.
