Businessman Tigran Karapetyan to Bring Suit against Adviser to Syunik Governor for Slander

Businessman Tigran Karapetyan to Bring Suit against Adviser to Syunik Governor for Slander

 Former candidate for Goris governor, CEO of "Goris Gamma" OJSC Tigran Karapetyan will bring suit against Volodya Hovhannisyan, the adviser to Syunik governor Suren Khachatryan, for slandering him and his family, Karapetyan told ArmInfo journalist.   

To note, Hovhannisyan gave an interview to the media accusing Karapetyan for inciting the Goris incident during which Goris resident Harut Zakaryan was severely beaten and lost his sight. 

Speaking of the accusations, Karapetyan particularly said: "I believe it to be beneath my dignity to comment on Hovhannisyan's statements. I can only say that the case is under the jurisdiction of the law enforcement bodies. The investigation will answer all the questions. I have nothing to hide. At the same time I cannot sit twiddling my thumbs and watch Hovhannisyan defacing my family and me. I am determined to file a lawsuit against Hovhannisyan", said Karapetyan. 

Karapetyan said he had also turned to law enforcement bodies requesting to ensure his and his family's security. "I have been compelled to take such actions given the threats directed against me and attempts at dragging me into acts of provocation", said Karapetyan. 

On May 2 Surik Khachatryan aka Liska's son Tigran Khachatryan got involved in another bloody showdown. Goris police precinct received a call from Goris medical center on May 2 at around 21:35.  "With a right-eye injury - eyelid cut" Harut Zakaryan was hospitalized on the same day. According to the police report, on May 2 at around 16:00 Harut Zakaryan quarreled with Tigran Khachatryan in Goris city center, after they headed towards a territory called "Sdgi Gyol" where other people joined them. The quarrel turned into a fight during which Harut Zakaryan sustained bodily injuries near his eye.  Zakaryan has been moved to Yerevan where he was operated on. However, his eyesight has not been recovered. The governor denies his son's involvement in the showdown.  Harut Zakaryan's father Gagik Zakaryan has told ArmInfo journalist that Tigran Khachatryan stands guilty.  According to some info, Surik Khachatryan and his second son were seen at the crime scene. According to Gagik Zakaryan, his son is currently in Moscow where he will be operated on his eye for the young man received no relevant treatment in Yerevan.  The other day the media issued a statement that Tigran Khachatryan had left Armenia. However, he voluntarily went to the Police. According to "Zhoghovurd" newspaper, while being questioned he was treated rather strictly, he got even confused while providing testimony. Afterwards he complained to his father on the harsh treatment at police precinct.  Harut Zakaryan, who was attacked in the fight with the involvement of Syunik governor's son Tigran Khachatryan, has been operated on his eye in Moscow.  However, the situation was so grave he lost eye, the victim's father Gagik Zakaryan has told ArmInfo journalist.

On May 20 shots were fired towards the car of Syunik governor Surik Khachatryan. No harm came to the governor and his driver though 10 bullets were shot in their direction breaking the wind and side windows.  

Right after the incident Khachatryan's advaiser Volodya Hovhannisyan in his interview to the media accused "Goris Gamma" CEO Tigran Karapetyan for being behind the two incidents.  

To remind, this is not the first criminal incident with Syunik governor Suren Khachatryan's name involved.  Shootouts in front of Syunik Governor's house at 00:10am on June 2 killed former candidate for Goris mayor Avo Budaghyan and wounded his brother Artak Budaghyan (who was in a grave situation for a long period), a commander at a military unit in NKR.  There was another wounded, Nikolay Abrahamyan, a relative and bodyguard of Governor S.  Khachartyan.  Syunik Governor Suren Khachatryan's son, Tigran Khachatryan  and the governor's bodyguard Zarzand Nikoghosyan were arrested over the case.
