ArmInfo.The head of the Special Investigation Service of Armenia Sasun Khachatryan does not consider that Secretary of the Artsakh Council of the Artsakh Vitaly Balasanyan is the person who can give a legal assessment of the acts.
"If he is ashamed, then I leave it on his conscience, but if he is a serious lawyer, I invite him to come. If he considers himself a serious lawyer, we will sit down and discuss from a legal point of view," said Sasun Khachatryan in an interview on January 28, commenting on the comment of Vitaly Balasanyan, who stated that the statement of the head of the SIS, that the military serviceman of urgent service Tigran Abrahamyan was killed by members of the special forces in order to introduce an emergency, is shameful.
When asked what the head of the investigative body thinks about the words of the Secretary of the Security Council of Artsakh that the charges of overthrowing the constitutional system against the second President of Armenia Robert Kocharyan are ridiculous, Sasun Khachatryan said: "Do you want me to comment on the words of Vitaly Balasanyan? With regard to legal assessments of actions, I don't think that Vitaly Balasanyan is the person who can give a legal assessment of the actions. "
Yesterday, Artsakh Security Council secretary of Artsakh Vitaly Balasanyan commented on a criminal case about the events of March 1-2, 2008, in an interview with journalists in the Yerablur military pantheon. Balasanyan called the accusation against Robert Kocharyan ridiculous. "This is the same as if Nikol Pashinyan topple the constitutional order today in order to remain prime minister. This is a little ridiculous. A force that is not in power can overthrow the constitutional order. - Balasanyan wonders. Speaking about the secret order No. 0038, which lies at the basis of the accusation against Kocharyan, Balasanyan said that there is no mention of involving the army in political processes. "You'll see! The time will come, and you yourself will say that you are ashamed. By order No 0038, the troops were transferred to a barracks position and did not participate in political events," he said. Referring to the use of special equipment "Bird-7" to disperse demonstrators, Balasanyan said that the Internal Police Forces used them, and that the army did not have and never had "Bird-cherry 7". At the same time, Balasanyan called it disgraceful the statement of the head of the SIS that the murder of a soldier Tigran Abgaryan was organized in order to impose a state of emergency in the country. "You can not put the families of these victims in such a difficult situation for the sake of political dividends," said Balasanyan. In his opinion, those who make such statements will be in an even more unfavorable position by the end of the investigation. When asked who would answer for the death of 10 people during those events, Balasanyan advised not to hurry and wait for the court decision. As for the case against Seyran Ohanyan and other high-profile cases initiated recently, Vitaly Balasanyan noted: he is not familiar with these cases and cannot say anything.
