Artak Budaghyan’s lawyer Haik Alumyan confirmed a few days ago disseminated information of Aravot.am that Tigran Khachatryan, arrested son of the former governor of Syunik Surik Khachatryan on the day of the accident was under the influence of drugs. “Mass media have already reported, so I will not make a pre-investigation secret public that yes, I definitely have that information.”- said the lawyer. With regard to claim of Tigran Sahakyan’s attorney Ruben Sahakyan, the even if he had been under the influence of drugs, that fact could not play any role, Mr. Alumyan said,- “It do not think it appropriate to comment on it at this time.” To our questions whether he has some fears that the circumstance of being under the influence of drugs will be denied in the future by findings of forthcoming examination, he said,- “I can not expect everything, I can not rule out anything.
If the investigating body has made the issue of recognition Artak Budaghyan a victim a subject of dispute, I can not rule out anything from the investigating body.” To our question whether you have the full video of the incident, he said,- “If I had, I would not say precisely, but I am sure that after watching the video, there will be no doubt that Artak Budaghyan is a victim, and who the attackers are.” To our question whether he can now reveal who this man of society was that shot on Budaghians, he said,- “I can not tell more than this, it will turn out that I break someone’s presumption of innocence.”
