Talking to journalists, the lawyer Stepan Voskanyan touched on the
Aharon Hayrapetyan death case.
According to the original version, the soldier was killed by an Azeri
sniper in Askeran, March 17. However, Ashot Kocharyan, Aharon's close
friend, took the blame for the soldier's death on himself.
"My client confessed he had killed his friend by pure accident. Later,
however, he went back on his words and said that he had confessed
under pressure. After he told his parents that he had been subjected
to torture, I have not been allowed to see him for the second time.
They argue I have not a sealed letter of inquiry. It is only at the
Shushi prison that I have known that a lawyer needs a sealed letter
of inquiry," Voskanyan said.
After the lawyer managed to see his client, he knew the jailer
threatened him. The head of the investigation department forced Ashot
Kostanyan to admit he had killed the soldier.
The trial is likely to begin before the end of November.
