Relatives of killed Armenian soldiers yearn for vendetta in Khankandi hospital

03 December 2010 [15:36] - TODAY.AZ
Relatives and friends of soldiers who were killed and wounded during the November 19 incident at an Armenian military unit in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan strived to finish off with culprit Manvel Azroyan yesterday, according to Armenia-based “Haykakan Zhamanak” newspaper.

According to Armenian media, Azroyan, according to official investigation, shot four of his colleagues dead, and wounded four more. After that, he tried to commit suicide.

A couple of days ago it was reported that one of the wounded Sarkis Melkumyan also died. This turned out to be the boiling point for the relatives and friends of the killed and wounded soldiers. Indignant crowd gathered near the military hospital in Khankandi to get back at Azroyan.

Azroyan’s lawyer Armen Simonian said after it became clear that Melkumyan is alive, the crowd dispersed, but the vengeful relatives promised to return.

The military hospital is under heavy guard of military police. The newspaper notes that even parents are not allowed to visit Azroyan. The investigators do not allow relatives to see Manvel for safety reasons.

Meanwhile, after regaining consciousness, wounded Sarki Melkumyan said in testimony that he was shot not by Manvel Azroyan. This information has not been officially confirmed yet.
