Hayrikyan names the person who shot at him
Leader of the National Self-Determination Union, ex-presidential candidate in Armenia, Paruyr Hayrikyan, today announced in court that the person who shot at him during the January 31 attempt was Khachatur Poghosyan, one of the two suspects detained in connection with the high-profile assassination attempt on the ex-presidential candidate.
Hayrikyan said that Poghosyan was lucky enough not to have killed him; otherwise, he would live with ‘a heavy burden-the guilt of sin-upon the conscience.'
The ex-presidential candidate again reiterated that the attempt had been ordered by Russia. In his testimony, Hayrikyan also expressed his surprise at the statement of one of the defendants in the case, another presidential contender Vardan Sedrakyan who had said that his car is more expensive than Hairikyan's life
