Three mothers of sons who died under peaceful conditions in the army
were protesting in front of the government building today to have
their voices heard by the Prime Minister and ministers participating
in a government session.
Gohar Sargsyan, mother of Tigran Ohanjanyan who died in the military
unit of Gegharkunik region on August 30, 2007, said that on January 13
the first instance court of Gegharkunik region announced a verdict to
not recognize the official version of electrocution as unsupported and
send the case of lack of evidence to the military prosecutor's office
for a new examination. Nevertheless, she had come to the government
building. "I am here to show that I will continue the fight until
justice is served and the culprits are punished. We made it to the
point when the prosecutor's office eliminated the 7-volume case and
started from zero."
Anahit Kirakosyan, mother of another soldier who died in the military
unit in Martakert of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, said that on
December 22, 2009 the Cassation Court reached two verdicts: in one
case, the court didn't accept the complaints of the culprits and kept
the verdict of the Appeals Court unchanged. As for the second case,
Kirakosyan said: "I don't know on what grounds the Cassation Court
came to that decision by applying amnesty for culprit Edgar Avetisyan.
We have another culprit, Artur M. Petrosyan who is in liberty to
this day." Kirakosyan demands the arrest of the second culprit and
no amnesty for the first culprit.
As other government session days, no government official paid attention
to the protest today either.
