Torgom Asatryan Has No Connection to Attempted Murder of Mirzoyan, Lawyer Says

Torgom Asatryan's lawyer, Alexander Kochubaev, writes: “The charges against Torgom Asatryan in the case of the attempted murder of Ararat Mirzoyan have been reclassified as mass disturbances, which means that T. Asatryan has no connection to the attempted murder of Mirzoyan (which was a murky dream of the investigative body). The defense also disagrees with this verdict and will file an appeal against the ruling. The political situation forces one to look at such a verdict with understanding, which in some way is also a success. I advise Ararat Mirzoyan to seek out those who beat him within his inner circle… When charges and political interests intertwine, the truth is often obscured,” the lawyer stated.
