The commander of N unit, Col. Artak Budaghyan who was injured as a result of shooting next to former Governor of Syunik Surik Khachatryan's house, left the hospital. In the conversation with the reporter of “Factinfo”, press secretary of the Ministry of Defense Artsrun Hovhannisyan said.

As "Fastinfo" informed earlier, on June 1, 2013, at 23.00, an incident took place next to the house of the former Governor of Syunik Surik Khachatryan as a result of which the former candidate of Gorik Mayor Avetik Budaghyan was killed and his brother, col. Artak Budaghyan and governor’s body guide Nikolai Abrahamyan received gunshot injuries.

A criminal case was filed and the governor’s son Tigran Khachatryan and his bogy guide Zarzand Nikoghosyan were charged with articles 104.2.6, 112.1 and 235.1 of RA Criminal Code respectively being murder committed in a way dangerous for the life of many people, infliction of willful heavy damage to health and illegal procurement, transportation or carrying of weapons, ammunition, explosives or explosive devices.

On the same day Syunik court of first instance made a decision on the arrest of Z.Nikoghosyan and Tigran Khachatryan and they were transferred to Nubarashen prison. In the scope of the case, Artak Budaghyan was questioned as a victim, but it is obvious that in the near future his status will be changed, either he will be given the status of defendant for the participation in the shooting or he will be named a victim.

Note that his attorney Hayk Alumyan has already presented a petition to the court for his status change to the victim, but the hearing was postponed.
