ARMENIAN FORMER MINISTER SAYS LEONARD PETROSYAN KILLED DELIBERATELY

Social

Today, Former Minister of Communication Ruben Tonoyan gave testimony at the hearing on the October 27 terrorist action case. The witness provided details on Leonard Petrosyan assassination to the court. At the October 27 parliamentary session, Tonoyan sat next to Leonard Petrosyan. When the terrorists rushed into the session hall and opened fire, Petrosyan tried to stand up but didn’t manage it as he was killed. Tonoyan say Petrosyan was killed with a single shot but not with automatic fire. In Tonoyan’s words Petrosyan had no gun and didn’t say a word. So that, the victim did nothing terrorists could take as threat to force them to shoot for self-defence. Hence, the witness came to conclusion that the murder of Leonard Petrosyan wasn’t unintended one.
