Director of the National Archive of Armenia, Amatuni Virabyan, said at a May 23 press conference that, among other materials, they examined the coercion of 1937.
He also touched upon the previous mistaken shootings of 1937-39, the cases of which were retained. “One or two survived, one of which was Hovhannes Baghramyan, who later became Marshal”.
He also said that everyone was shot in a security service cellar, which, according to him, later became a shooting area for Chekists. “Everyone was shot here, not in valleys or prisons. At night they were taken by car and buried in brotherly cemeteries.
We suppose it would be in the place of the current Hrazdan Stadium. Later, all that was cleaned and the stadium was built”.
