Just now, the sources of Aravot.am informed that Arkady Khachatryan, son of former head of Gyumri City Hall Sports Department Hrachik Khachatryan, is suspected in the shooting of 27-year old taxi driver Artak Marati Andreasyan shot a day before in front of Shirak Water-Sewage CJSC, in the neighborhood of Boulevard district, Gyumri. He is not yet brought to charges, but, according to the police, the dispute did not contain substantial grounds, it was rather a hooligan-level dispute. The suspect was found to be drunk, he got on a taxi, then entered into argument with the driver, shuffling, and caused a gunshot at the back part of the driver. Note that about 4 years ago, the suspect had a similar story by Vardan Ghukasyan in the “Textile” sport club leased to his father for 99 years, where shots were also heard, and this young man was sentenced to prison. As per police sources, he is set free for about a year. It should be noted that today since early morning, long meeting was held in the office of Shirak Marz police chief, Colonel Vardan Nadaryan. The victim is still in the intensive care unit, and has not given testimony, whereas the suspect seems to be hiding in the meantime.
