She considers Robert Kocharyan’s explanation absurd that if Karen Serobich did not get up and speak, he would not be killed
The wife of Yuri Bakhshyan, Anahit Bakhshyan, when in the interview with “Aravot” was interpreting some sentences from Robert Kocharyan’s testimony, exposed an episode committed during that period with some of the details. She told us what meeting was held in May 7, 2000 at the Presidential between the wives of October 27 victims and Gagik Jhangiryan and Robert Kocharyan, and what hard conversation was held. During the meeting, Robert Kocharyan was flooded with questions, especially by Karen Demirchyan’s wife, Mrs. Rima Demirchyan.
In the interview with “Aravot”, this time, Ms. Demirchyan revealed as to what was talked about with Robert Kocharyan, and what “absurd” explanation was provided by the latter regarding murdering of Karen Demirchyan. “After October 27, we met once with him. In the general silence, I spoke with him very sharply. Gagik Jhangiryan was there, at that time he was the RA Attorney General, also his security staff and us. He tried to explain that if Karen Serobich did not speak, did not get up, he would not be killed. The wound on the leg was accidental; the rest was the result of his improper behavior. Of course, it is beyond rationality. Karen Serobich could not, he was not the type of man to get under the table or the chair like MPs. But shooting … such an explanation is absurd, because the orbit distinctly shows in the picture that they fired on him, it was not enough, there was a control shot. Why do you have to make a control shot on the dead, this is the other brother. I tend to think that this explanation was an absurd one.
The main target over there was Karen Serobich, therefore they come to NA, therefore they had left this left the option that he was shot accidentally. For a long time this version was still in force, but there is no accidental. They got in just for him to shoot. Because they could shoot Vazgen in some other place, but shooting Karen Demirchyan was not explained in any way. It was prepared to say that it is an accidental. It did not work. When they wrapped up, the prosecutor asked Kocharyan as to how finally to formulate this act, he said, well, a coup, and so on. I said, no, it was not a coup. Coup? The gun was left with the murderer, and Kocharyan had met him alone. He could have shot Kocharian too, isn’t it? It is not happen. If he had destroyed all three branches, that would be a real coup. I said, no, it was not a coup, it was a political murder. ”

During that meeting, Robert Kocharyan also said that let Karen Demirchyan have body guards. Mrs. Demirchyan commented, “What shall the guard do at that moment? Vazgen had. Should Karen Serobich have, he was thinking that presiding a session at the legislative body, National Assembly, in the presence of armed people, is beyond ethic rules, beyond the law. He would never let it happen. And Vazgen had also let his body guards out. It’s another matter that the building was not protected.
What the right did the outsiders, accidental people from the street have to pass the gates and enter the building? Did they have the right to? Random dregs. It was not, let’s say, they were some kind of officials, dregs, who freely passed and entered the hall. Was it to happen? It was a very delicate and organized work.”
Ms. Demirchyan has no doubts that Nairi Hunanyan’s murdering weapons were entered into the Parliament House in advance. “How could they pass them through so many people? So, either the guards were their supporters or the weapons were not passed through into the building like that, they was passed before. As to who has organized it, it is difficult to say. It’s difficult, because there are such issues, including the geopolitical redistribution. External forces also played a role here, but it was done by the hands of Armenians. This is the most painful part.”
Rima Demirchyan confirmed the testimony of Anahit Bakhshyan that Gagik Jhangiryan had said, my hands are tied, they do not let me work. “He has said the same to us. But why are they tied up? Let him function. This case cannot stay unrevealed, it is disclosed.”
