On March 14, 2010, Valeri Muradyan, conscript, died in Haykazov
military unit of the NKR. Recall according to the official version
Valeri Muradyan committed suicide through hanging. Now another
conscript of the same military unit has been detained charged in this
case. This is the first person involved in the criminal case after one
year.
This information was confirmed by the RoA Military Prosecutor Gevorg
Kostanyan in a conversation with us. For investigation interests, the
name of the detained soldier is not published.
The detainee has been charged under Art. 359 of the Criminal Code
(Breach of relations, prescribed by field manuals, between servicemen
not subordinated to each other, expressed in humiliation of the
person's honor and self-esteem, persecution or violence).
The Article supposes for detention up to three months, or service in a
disciplinary battalion up to two years, or imprisonment up to two
years.
After Valeri Muradyan's death, the Ministry of Defense opened a
criminal case for forcing a person to committ suicide. After one year,
the case was suspended.
Recall Serge Sargsyan ordered the Military Prosecutor's office to take
under its personal control the cases of soldiers died in peace
conditions, whose relatives hold protests every Thursday in front of
the governmental building.
It is worth mentioning that in a short while after the president's
instruction, some move has already been noticed in these cases. We
hope these steps of the Military Prosecution will lead to the real
revelation of the cases and the suspicious accusations for suicide
will be changed.
