Vartan Ghukasian, the controversial former mayor of Gyumri, is facing fresh accusations of violent conduct one year after his resignation that was engineered by the Armenian government.
Ghukasian and several of his loyalists allegedly assaulted a man in Armenia’s second largest city on Tuesday during the trial of another local resident accused of murdering his daughter’s fiancé.
The murder took place in April last year. Karen Yesayan, a 27-year-old resident of the United States, was found shot dead in his car on the day of the planned ceremony of his engagement to Manya Ghukasian, the Gyumri mayor’s elder daughter.
Another young man, Harutyun Sargsian, was arrested in the ensuing criminal investigation shortly afterwards. The Gyumri police claim that he shot and killed Yesayan because he also wanted to marry Manya Ghukasian. Sargsian pleaded not guilty to the murder charge when he went on trial later in 2012.
After months of resistance Vartan Ghukasian appeared before a Gyumri court on Tuesday to give evidence in the high-profile case. The ex-mayor refused to answer questions from the defendant’s lawyer, labeling her as a “devil.” He stood by his pre-trial testimony and refused to testify further before storming out of the courtroom.
