Vrezh Zatikyan gave testimony to police but refused to talk with the media.
Paruyr Hayrikyan’s nephew, Varuzhan Ter-Simonyan, told the reporters, “He was going home after leaving his office located at the crossroads of Tpagrichneri and Alaverdyan streets. A shot was heard after he came out of the car and walked towards his house.

Hayrikyan received no suspicious calls or threats before the shooting incident, Varuzhan Ter-Simonyan said.
