NEW FACTS ON OCTOBER THE 27-TH TERRORISM ACTION

Social

Today Khachik Avetisyan, the employee of Public TV as well as the cameraman of movable TV station, appeared before the First Instance Court of Center-Nork Marash communities.

On October the 27-th, 1999, he worked on the camera which was set near the presidium of Parliament. He saw terrorist Karen Hunanyan entering the Parliament Hall and shooting at prime-minister Vazgen Sargsyan. He also saw Nairi Hunanyan shoot at Karen Demirchyan and Yuri Bakhshyan.

The terrorists demanded the cameraman to tape everything. They also demanded live. The cameraman said he could do nothing as the camera had been controlled by the movable TV station.

He either couldn't tape murders of Karen Demirchyan and Yuri Bakhshyan, as the direction of camera wasn't suitable. He said he had seen Karen Hunanyan stab Vazgen Sargsyan with the sub-machine-gun. All these haven't been recorded, either.

With the permission of the terrorists, the cameraman had gone out of the Hall some time later and went to the TV station.

Khachik Avetisyan doesn't remember everything and says his preliminary investigation testimony is more correct.
