ArmInfo.Armenian MP Arman Babajanyan met with Nairi Hunanyan. He announced this on his Facebook page.

''For the first time in 20 years, at Yerevan-Kentron Penitentiary  Institution, I had an almost two-hour conversation with the head of  the terrorist group in the case of October 27, 1999, Nairi Hunanyan.  Along with numerous answers, many questions have arisen that need a  long analysis. However, the main beneficiaries of October 27, that  is, the leaders of the revenge-taking camps of the  counter-revolutionary forces, should always remember: there is no  forgiveness for the damage caused to the state and statehood of  Armenia by the brutal murder of Vazgen Sargsyan, Karen Demirchyan,  Yura Bakhshyan, Ruben Miroyan, Heinrich Abrahamyan, Armenak  Armenakyan, Leonard Petrosyan and Michael Kotanyan. No one will go  unpunished'', the MP noted.

On October 27, 1999, a group of terrorists burst into parliament and  shot and killed the Prime Minister of Armenia Vazgen Sargsyan, the  Speaker of the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia, Karen  Demirchyan, Deputy Speakers Yuri Bakhshyan and Ruben Miroyan, the  Minister of Operational Affairs Leonard Petrosyan and MPs Armenak  Armenakyan, Mikael Kostanyan and Henrikh Abrahamyan..

The terrorist group included former journalist Nairi Hunanyan, who  worked for some time on television in Armenia, his brother Karen  Hunanyan, their uncle Vram Galstyan, as well as Derenik Bejanyan and  Ashot Knyazyan. Their trial began on February 15, 2001. On December  2, 2003, the Center-Nork-Marash trial court sentenced Nairi and Karen  Hunanyan brothers, Edik Grigoryan, Vram Galstyan (in 2004, according  to the official version, committed suicide), Derenik Bejanyan and  Ashot Knyazyan to life imprisonment.  Hamlet Stepanyan was sentenced  to 14 years in prison (in May 2010 his body was found in his bed at  the Nubarashen detention center). All seven were found guilty of  treason and terrorism. Nairi Hunanyan sentenced to life imprisonment.

It should be added that according to the statement of Arman  Babajanyan, a criminal case was instituted on the basis of usurpation  of power by a group of persons. The statement of Babajanyan concerns  the chairman of the Constitutional Court Hrayr Tovmasyan, whose  legality is disputed by the MP.
