Last person to see Vano Siradeghyan in Armenia was head of his guard

The last person to see former Armenian influential figure, ex-interior minister Vano Siradeghyan in Armenia was the head of his guard Suren Sirunyan.

Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Sirunyan said with the request of Siradeghyan he left him in the place Siradeghyan told him to on April 3, 2000. Sirunyan said Siradeghyan has not been in Armenia since then.

According to him, no one knew about Siradeghyan’s intention to leave the country, neither did his family.

The speaker refused to say whether he has contacted Vano Siradegyan since then or not.

Sirunyan said while leaving the country, Siradeghyan was not wanted by the police but possessed information about the intention of the then prosecutor general to come to the National Assembly and deprive him of immunity.

Vano Siradeghyan is charged with organization of assassinations of a number of political figures and is wanted by Interpol.

The talks over possible return of Vano Siradeghyan have intensified recently with initiatives created in Facebook.
