In the beginning of his tenure, the Military Prosecutor Gevorg
Kostanyan enjoyed the confidence of the parents of soldiers who died in
the army at peace time. Especially after he personally went to study
the location where Tigran Ohanyan was allegedly killed by electric
shock and told Tigran's mother the location had been falsified.
For half a year, the press always referred to Kostanyan's phrase. The
parents trusted Kostanyan's phrase that "the investigation is going
on" and expected that the real perpetrators would be found and
punished. They would have expected more if the Military Prosecutor
had not worked out a false protocol in Ohanjanyan's military unit
6 months later stating Tigran Ohanjanyan could have been killed by
electric shock.
The Military Prosecutor reneged on his words through the Golos
Armeniy Neswpaper. "I have never said the scene was falsified, but
I say that there are still issues the answers to which have not been
found yet." Then he repeated his favorite phrase. "The investigation
is going on."
An unpleasant conversation took place between Ohanjanyan's angry
father and Kostanyan which the Military Prosecutor prefers silencing,
and at that moment, the dialogue between him and the parents of killed
soldiers has been interrupted. The more youths are killed in the army,
the more self-confident Gevorg Kostanyan becomes.
"I can assure you, since the very moment I was appointed Military
Prosecutor, no crime has remained unrevealed. We have 100% crime
revelation, even grave crimes, including death cases," the military
prosecutor told the Golos Armeniy on October 13.
By saying 100% revelation, he may mean the diligence of the
investigators. They visit the scene and reveal "suicides" so rapidly
that further investigation becomes unnecessary, but just a slight
technical moment and a ceremony to confirm that version. The society
remains perplexed at what is happening in the Armenian army and
they get surprised at when it managed to become so bad that so many
servicemen commit suicide.
"The rate of murders has dropped 4 times since last year," says the
military prosecutor. No one knows what figures he is speaking about
because the number of army deaths is a military secret.
People have their own statistics. On the day when the Prosecutor's
interview was published in the Golos Armeniy, Yurik Nersisyan, who
had no father and home and saw nothing but hardship in his 19 years
"committed a suicide". On the same day, the society was shocked by
the news of the suicide of Aram Melkonyan, 21. Three days before the
interview, 19-year-old Vladimir Asatryan "committed a suicide" in an
NKR military unit, and his mother kept crying and shouting that his
son was very adjustable, and he couldn't commit a suicide because he
never complained, he helped his mother by collecting rubbish to earn
their living.
In Yeghnikner, a conscript from Artik was tortured, his body was
burnt with cigarettes, and he was taken to hospital in coma. One
month ago, Aghasi Abrahamyan serving in the same military unit died
from inhumane tortures. The person who beat him to death is charged
with mere violation of field manuals.
Our investigators and military prosecutors avoid the expressions
"tortures", "murder" and "cruel murder" and the interview of the
military prosecutor makes the reason clear. Otherwise, he could never
state that "the most common crimes are those based on the violation
of field manuals between the conscripts and officers, as well as on
daily basis".
It is not clear to who the prosecutor's speech is addressed. Who does
he intend to convey his message? Does he want to tell the President
that "everything is OK, do not believe the growing number of women
in black who will knock at your door and protest?" Is the Military
Prosecutor's speech addressed to these people, to the parents of
the guys tortured and killed during their military service or maybe
the future conscripts who went on protest on October 13, demanding
security guarantees from the Supreme Commander-in-Chief? Why is he
still speaking when it is time for action?
