Spokesman of the Armenian Defense Minister Artsrun Hovhannisyan has neither confirmed nor refuted the news reporting that the Azeris fired on the helicopter that was carrying Seyran Ohanyan to Noyemberyan Monday morning.
"There were no traces of bullets on it," he said.
The Minister went to Noyemberyan to inquire into the accident that took place in a local military unit on May 15 and came back to Yerevan two hours later.
On May 15 at 3:30pm, soldier David Khachatryan fired at Luks Stepanyan from his automated gun. Stepanyan died of the wound in the head. Another soldier Hrachya Sargsyan was hospitalized with gunshot wound in the head. Khachatryan was prosecuted on May 18 under Article 104.2 and Article 112.1 of the Criminal Code of Armenia, with a petition made to the court for his arrest.
