15:02 - 08.10.11
Armenia's defense minister has fired senior military officials over
the incident during military exercise that claimed a life.
A source close to the Defense Ministry told Tert.am that upon his
return from Brussels on October 7 Seyran Ohanyan signed a decree with
which he fired several high-ranking military officers, including the
commander of the Baghramyan Education Camp over the incident.
Several other high-ranking military officers, including some general,
were only reprimanded.
The accident took place at around 6pm on October 3 when a vehicle
participating in the military hit the roadside mound, lost control and
slipped off the road, killing on conscript and injuring six others.
It comes a week after Seyran Ohanyan said during a visit to a military
unit in Nagorno-Karabakh that non-combat deaths in the army are
unacceptable and that those in charge will be strictly punished in
accordance with the law.
