Hovhannisyan (Vanadzor), Artyom Minasyan (Charentsavan) and Karo

One of the soldiers shot 5 others dead, then himself, though, the

enforcement bodies who should provide details on the incident.' Felix
Poghosyan also didn't say in which unit namely the incident occurred,
nor did he clarify who exactly had violated the military duty rules as
officers caught soldiers sleeping on watch.
`Investigation is underway. There are conflicts among the relatives of
the dead soldiers and we don't find it rational to inform about them
