Armenia's Ombudsman has called for country's authorities to carry out
an intensive investigation into incidents occurred in the Armenian
Army. The press office of the human rights defender released Friday
the following statement: `On July 27, 2010, a soldier of the 3rd Unit
of the Armed Forces of Armenia, 31-year-old lieutenant, specialist in
oriental studies Artak Nazarian, was shot dead at the military lines.
This accident was followed by a more horrific tragedy, when a soldier
of [one of the units] opened fire at his mates and then committed a
suicide.
The Defense Ministry of Armenia has issued a statement containing
order to carry out a detailed investigation into what had happened.
These incidents, following one another, were added to some other
killings committed in different military units, and this will
negatively affect the fighting efficiency of the army and moral and
psychological atmosphere of the public.

killed soldiers, expresses his condemnation of incidents of such kin,
