Though the criminal case on shootings was instigated against him on Aug. 25, the police “learned” about the incident only on Aug. 28. So, Spartkan Ghukasyan had 3-4 days to flee the country. Probably, the police were well aware of the shootings, and intentionally delayed the case for Ghukasyan to flee the country,” the paper says.
