“All sourced of information have already exhausted”, said Tuesday
members of the crew investigating the October 27 terrorist act
committed in 1999 in Armenian National Assembly building and proposed
to close the isolated case on the crime masterminds. And the case
was dismissed…
Aram Sargssyan, Republic party leader and brother of the then
prime minister Vazgen Sargssyan killed in the terrorist attack,
said commenting on the case closure at a news conference there was
nothing surprising to him in it. In his opinion, the authorities
acted this way thinking it will settle the whole matter. “But they
are wrong about that: gap between them and people will widen now
and public scepticism will run high”, he said. He pointed out that,
contrary to Kocharyan, many Armenian officials, including PM and a
number of ministers, believed there were masterminds.
Ashot Sargssyan, the attorney of another victim of the terrorist
action, the then parliament speaker Karen Demirchyan, thinks the
decision to dismiss the case is completely groundless.
The investigation crew head Marcel Matevossyan said at the news
conference that the case closure doesn’t mean the investigation cannot
be resumed in the event that new pieces of evidence emerge.
