30 persons have been investigated on the Prosecutor’s case.
Albert Ghazaryan, the Prosecutor of Lori region, state advisor of justice third class, was killed on his way to home on August 25 at about 12:20am. The unknown person fired 4 shots at his victim who died on the way to hospital. A crminal case is filed according to the 2nd characters of the 2nd part of the 104 article of the RA Criminal Code.
The correspondent of «Aravot» was told in the following day that the gun was without a silencer, and the neighbors and the victim\’s family heard the shots. According to our information the Prosecutor\’s elder son with his friend took him to hospital. The father told his son on the way to the hospital “finally they did what they wanted”; he also gave the name of a witness.
We found out that the Prosecutor’s noted person has been the director of “ArmRusGasProm” Lori branch, citizen of Vanadzor, Garnik Ghavuzyan. According to “Azatutiun” b/s, he joined the Prosecutor late in the evening when the latter was going home on foot. He has already been interrogated twice. G. Ghavuzyan declared in his second indication that he wrote the first indication under affect and without an advocate so it might be addressed against him.
According to our information A. Ghazaryan has sent materials against «ArmRusGasProm» to the regional police station, where a criminal case was filed: G. Ghavuzyan\’s name is also noted there.
It was obvious for the policemen just in the same day of crime that the assasinator killed his victim far from his home to avoid external cameras situated round his house.
The citizens of Vanadzor mention that there are deep and serious discrepancies between prosecutor\’s office and police, prosecutor\’s office and marzpetaran (region office), prosecutor\’s office-municipality.
And more, our sources note that Serge Sargsyan proposed A. Ghazaryan to fill the post of the head of Shirak region (marzpet) since he is in that region by origin. By that action Serge Sargsyan wanted to stop the hatred among state officials of Vanadzor since the circle of discrepancies isn\’t profitable for him in this pre-electoral period. But the Prosecutor didn\’t agree saying that he couldn\’t work with Vardan Ghukasyan, the mayor of Gyumri.
The citizens of Vanadzor are sure that the accident is the current clash among clans. There is no official remark on this accident. According to non-official remarks, it is spoken about strained relations among the killed Prosecutor, Mayor Samvel Darbinyan, former head of Lori region Henrik Kochinyan, Eduard Khlghatyan, the director of «Haypost» Vanadzor branch. As a response to these discrepancies the Prosecutor filed criminal cases against the above mentioned officials noting their their relatives\’ names.
According to another source, the reason of that assasination is connected with mass tree chopping in the forests of Lori, the Prosecutor\’s office had prepared materials against that action.
We were also informed yesterday evenyng that three dozens of persons were brougt to the regional police station for interrogation, H. Kochinyan, S. Darbinyan and their relatives were among them.
