Lawyer: Former governor of Syunik will not become defendant
“The former governor of Syunik province Suren Khachatrian is not a defendant now and will not become a defendant,” Ruben Sahakian - the lawyer of ex-governor Suren Khachatrian’s son – told reporters today.
In the lawyer’s words, he does not represent Suren Khachatrian’s interests as the latter does not need to be defended – he was asleep in his home at the time when the incident occurred.
The lawyer of Artak Budaghian earlier accused the Military Prosecutor’s Office, saying that no charges have been brought so far against Suren Khachatrian.
Ruben Sahakian also said that Budaghian’s lawyer, Hayk Alumian, is trying to distort the facts. “Budaghian’s lawyer, without any reason, is trying to nullify my petition. I am ready to meet with Alumian and debate with him,” Ruben Sahakian declared.
