Armenia`s Parliament Speaker: Everyone in Armenia knows the main  actors of the crimes of March 1, 2008 and October 27, 1999.

ArmInfo. "I believe that everyone knows the main actors in the crimes of March 1, 2008 and  October 27, 1999 There is only one thing left to do - to record this fact and the appropriate punishment will follow," Speaker of the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia Alen Simonyan told  reporters today.

"I am sure that we all know who was behind the terrorist attack in  the Armenian parliament and its reasons.  "I cannot now voice these  names, because from the point of view of my position, this could be  perceived as an accusation, but, as in the case of March 1, and since  October 27, everyone knows the masterminds of these crimes," Simonyan  emphasized, adding that there are temporary difficulties regarding  the terrorist attack of October 27, 1999. He, however, noted that he  is familiar with the investigation exactly as much as the citizens of  the country are familiar with it. Simonyan pointed to the presence of  political will to reveal those who ordered the crime. The Speaker  emphasized that there is a witness in the person of an investigator  who carried out investigative measures in the case of a terrorist  attack in the National Assembly and who is not currently in the  country.

Simonyan avoided a direct answer to the question whether he was  referring to the second and third presidents of the Republic of  Armenia.

On October 27, 1999, five people armed with Kalashnikov assault  rifles, led by the group leader, journalist Nairi Hunanyan, entered  the parliament building during government hour. Seven people were  shot -then Prime Minister Vazen Sargsyan and Speaker of Parliament  Karen Demirchyan, ministers and MPs. Another parliamentarian died of  a heart attack. 7 MPs were injured. More than 40 people were taken  hostage.  The trial of the terrorists began in February 2001. On  December 2, 2003, the Court of First Instance of Center-Nork-Marash  sentenced the brothers Nairi and Karen Hunanyan, Edik Grigoryan, Vram  Galstyan (in 2004 he died in custody, according to the official  version, by committing suicide), Derenik Bejanyan and Ashot Knyazyan  to life imprisonment. Hamlet Stepanyan was sentenced to 14 years in  prison (In May 2010, his body was discovered in his bed in the  Nubarashen penitentiary). All seven were found guilty of treason and  terrorism. The RA Court of Cassation upheld the verdict. The  customers of this outrageous crime are still unknown.
