    PanARMENIAN.Net - Ministry of Defense is not trying to hide or
    silence tragic incidents in the army, according to the Chairman of
    National Assembly's Standing Committee on Defense, National Security
    and Internal Affairs.

    "Nevertheless, I am aware of several cases of improper treatment,
    incomplete preliminary investigation and even violations by
    investigative agencies," Hrayr Karapetyan told journalists on Friday,
    Dec 23.

    According to him, Committee members met relatives of soldiers who died
    in the army in peaceful time and, on the basis of their complaints,
    sent letters to Chief Military Prosecutor, Chiefs of Investigation
    Service, Military Police and even Minister of Health.

    Karapetyan stressed that the Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyan also
    met with relatives of deceased soldiers and asked to give him time
    to deal with their complaints. The Minister instructed relevant
    agencies to reexamine the dissatisfactory cases and, if need be,
    conduct a new investigation.

    Karapetyan expressed hope that in the near future they will give
    answers to all parents.

    "In the long run, our job is to ensure investigations are conducted
    fairly and the guilty are punished," said he.
