From the Paper:

"Among those killed were Prime Minister Vazgen Sarkisyan and the parliamentary speaker, Karen S. Demirchyan, both of whom were leaders of the Unity political bloc, which won the Armenian elections in June. While it might be assumed that they had not been in power long enough to make many enemies, this was apparently not so. One of the gunmen was identified by eyewitnesses as Nairi Umanyan, a former journalist and extreme nationalist, and also identified were two of the other terrorists, reportedly related to Umanyan. Witness said Umanyan accused officials of "drinking our blood" (Dixon A1)."
