The morning of October 27, 1999, began as an ordinary day in the Armenian Parliament, but it soon turned into a tragedy<\/a> that shook the entire country. Nairi Hunanyan, armed and determined, entered the assembly hall accompanied by his closest relatives \u2014 his brother Karen Hunanyan and his uncle Vram Galstyan \u2014as well as several trusted associates: Derenik Bejanyan and Eduard Grigoryan. This was not a spontaneously formed group; its members were bound by blood and friendship, trust, and a shared conviction that radical measures were necessary.<\/p>\n

Hunanyan\u2019s group<\/a> acted with a high level of coordination. Family ties provided not only moral support but also operational cooperation, which was crucial for the preparation and execution of such an attack. His brother and uncle were fully involved, sharing feelings of injustice, disappointment, and frustration with the political regime.<\/p>\n
