Armenia — An Armenian man imprisoned for his role in a deadly attack
on Parliament a decade ago has died.
Armenia’s Justice Ministry says Gamlet Stepanyan died in his cell
over the weekend. It says the cause of death hasn’t been determined,
but that there were no signs of violence.
In the 1999 attack, several gunmen stormed into the building and
killed the prime minister, the speaker of parliament and six others.
Stepanyan’s role was to help the attackers flee the scene. He was
sentenced to 14 years in prison.
