Today the situation in the Armenian Armed Forces causes serious
concern, the head of the Public Council under Armenian Defence
Ministry, Gegam Harutyunyan, said at today's press-conference.
He also added that the cases of violence and humiliation in the army
cannot but cause sharply negative reaction of the Armenian society.
Today the most important is to overcome interpersonal relations
between soldiers, he said.
He sees the way out from the situation in further cooperation with
the society and mass media: "If you have something to offer, please
do it, and we shall convey your proposals to the Defence Ministry. We
are open for cooperation", - he said.
At the same time, Harutyunyan said that the number of the death cases
has reduced in the army.
"Of course, there is distrust in the society and among parents of the
soldiers which were killed in the army, but today there is not such
an idea like impunity in the army. All the investigations are being
held in details in every separate case. But we have to make these
investigations more successful, for the distrust to disappear", -
the head of the Public Council said.
To recall, in connection with the death of conscript, Lance Corporal
Vladimir Asatryan, who was serving in a unit of Nagorno-Karabakh
Republic (NKR) Defense Army, the same unit's conscript Martin Zakaryan
was detained yesterday. As press-service of Armenian Defence Ministry
reported, within the framework of the criminal case launched into the
soldier's death, the same military unit's conscript Albert Arakelyan
was also detained on Thursday. The investigation into the criminal
case is underway.
According to official premise, while carrying out duty at a military
