When October 27 ceased to be topic of quarrels among authorities (video)
Historic footage from the shooting at the NA Speaker’s room in the evening of the same day after the events of October 27, 1999. Some time after the massacre, Nairi Hunanyan already spoke about establishing National unity government. With arms in his hand Nairi Hunanyan says to the journalist Ruzan Khachatryan, who was invited to the hall full of killed people, that ‘let the president come to decide the fate of this nation.’” President comes. Just after the negotiations with him, Nairi Hunanyan decides to surrender. The guarantee is the fact that no member of the group will be executed. After these events hard days begin for President Robert Kocharyan. On the same day the military demand from Kocharyan the resignations of Minister of National Security Serzh Sargsyan and Minister of Inner Affairs Suren Abrahamyan. Those, who demanded resignations, though, according to Robert Kocharyan, already have a list, where it was written which positions the military were going to hold. Immediately after the events of October 27, Robert Kocharyan appointed Aram Sargsyan, brother of deceased PM Vazgen Sargsyan, as Prime Minister. But it didn’t calm down the passions in the army and around Serzh Sargsyan, who became Chief of Staff of the President. On May 12, 2000 Robert Kocharyan dismissed PM Aram Sargsyan. Starting from that day October 27 ceases to be a topic of quarrels among the authorities.
