‘Case re-opening requires new circumstances’ – Pashinyan on possibility of new probe into 1999 parliament shooting

Acting Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has addressed the possibility of re-opening the October 27 case.

Speaking to reporters today in parliament, Pashinyan stressed that de jure the cases are considered to be closed.

“According to Armenian legislation new circumstances are required for re-opening a case. This is the problem,” he said.

Asked if he sees any foreign interference in the October 27 attack, Pashinyan emphasized that it wouldn’t be appropriate for him to make comments on this matter in the capacity of acting prime minister.
