Kocharyan`s defense: We all want the case on March 1, 2008 events to  be fully disclosed 

ArmInfo. If the Special  Investigation Service has evidence that the serviceman Tigran  Abgaryan was killed on March 1, 2008 by representatives of a special  detachment, then a charge must be pressed, lawyer of the second  president of Armenia Robert Kocharyan Hayk Alumyan stated on  September 14 at a press conference.

The lawyer noted that the employees of the relevant structures are  trying to present "stunning" information about the events connected  with the case on March 1, in order to divert attention from  themselves. With the same purpose, according to him, information  about money laundering by Robert Kocharyan is being spread. "To make  such serious statements, it is necessary to at least put forward an  accusation and have a court decision that came into force." There is  still no charge, there is not enough evidence, while loud statements  are being made, "Alumyan stressed.

"All of us want the case on March 1to be disclosed. But for this it  is necessary not to make loud statements, but to obtain the necessary  evidence and initiate criminal cases," concluded Alumyan.

To note, on September 11, at a press conference, the head of the SIS,  Sasun Khachatryan, stated that the serviceman Tigran Abgaryan was  killed by a special forces serviceman. "Today we can say with  certainty that he was killed by a special forces serviceman. We have  clear evidence that Abgaryan was killed when the second president of  Armenia Robert Kocharyan introduced a state of emergency, although  there was no serviceman with gunshot wounds yet ", Khachatryan noted.  He added that the reason for the murder of Abgaryan was Kocharyan's  statement that there are already victims, although they were not  actually there, and it was necessary to justify it. According to him,  there is also evidence that the army was shooting at people, and in  the direction of houses. "In addition, there is factual evidence that  military uniforms and bulletproof vests were handed out to the  oligarchs' wards from the warehouses of the Defense Ministry, and of  course it is understandable for what purpose: that they do not differ  from military servicemen and carry out provocations," the head of the  SIS said. He added that the biggest crime was that the servicemen  were turned into contractors, and there are specific lists of  military men who received money from the oligarchs to protect their  houses these days.  To recall, on March 1, 2008, carrying a service  in the Grigor Lusavorich street, Tigran Abgaryan received a  cross-cutting gunshot wound in the neck and was taken to the  hospital, where on April 11, not recovering consciousness, he died.  The investigation did not establish the circumstances under which the  murder was committed.
