“If it was not Surik Khachatryan, who was the one shooting in the direction from top to bottom?” – this question was raised by Budaghyan’s lawyer Haik Alumyan in the conversation with Aravot.am assuring that during the incident in Goris there was a shot from the top of Surik Khachatryan’s house, and he was at home. We conveyed Surik Khachatryan’s lawyer Martin Zilfugharyan’s explanation that there was not a shot from top to down, it is only Haik Alumyan’s assumption. Mr. Alumyan answered, “My assumptions, unlike the assumptions of my much respected Martin Zilfugharyan and Ruben Sahakyan, are based on the materials of the case. So far, I have not seen the materials that are the basis of their conviction, if mine is an assumption.” Pursuant to Haik Alumyan’s interpretation, one of Avetik Budaghyan’s injuries was around the shoulder and penetrated to the abdomen, “The direction of this injury was from top to down. It is said not by me but the forensic doctor. Another injury hit the elbow joint, but from behind. I am criticized by the supporters of the other side why I have said that there was an injury from behind. Now, we do have the conclusion of the forensic doctor that the injury of the elbow was from back to front. We have one injury from back to front, which is around the elbow, which means that shooting was made from behind. There is another shot from top to down, the bullet of which was found in the abdomen. There are two more physical damages from front to back: one in the thigh and the other again in the lower part of the abdomen.”
