Lt. Gen. Tiran Khachatryan, who was released from custody on bail of five million drams, told the press that he is satisfied with the court decision.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“It is of course clear that the decision is not final, but for this part, yes, I am satisfied,” National Hero of Armenia, Lt. Gen. Tiran Khachatryan said.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Khachatryan noted that as the investigation is underway, he cannot provide details.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I also said in my testimony that I am not guilty of what happened. By my nature, character and essence, I would never do such a thing,” Khachatryan said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Regarding the shot heard at the scene and the person injured as a result, Khachatryan says, “Follow the developments, and it will be clear for you under what circumstances the shot was fired and how that person got injured. I had no wish to shoot or injure anyone, nor did I make an attempt, although I had the chance to do much worse things,” he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Khachatryan believes that his arrest has a political character.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“I felt such a thing toward my personality from the outset, during the investigation,” he noted. <\/span><\/p>\n

To remind, two months ago, an argument took place with Tiran Khachatryan’s participation; during the argument, Khachatryan shot into the air with his weapon. Afterward, he was arrested and taken into custody for two months.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

According to the prosecutor’s decision, a public criminal prosecution was brought against Tiran Khachatryan under Part 3 of Article 297 of the RA Criminal Code: “hooliganism committed with the use of a weapon or the threat of using it”.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
