Last year, RA Minister of Defense Seyran Ohanyan pledged that he would
do everything possible to reveal the murders committed in peace in
the army and that had instilled faith in lawyer Avetik Ishkhanyan.
"Yes, I hoped that something would change, but the situation is so
bad that even the minister can't fix it," Avetik Ishkhanyan told "A1+".
Ishkhanyan says Seyran Ohanyan should start the reforms with the
high-ranking officers. "The officers should know that they will be held
responsible for any soldier's injury." Avetik Ishkhanyan says Serzh
Sargsyan is responsible regardless of the current state of the army.
Lawyer Janna Alexanyan says impunity is the reason for the ongoing
murders in the army. "Nothing is being done to prevent the murders. I
follow up on the cases. The murders are very brutal and it means that
there is violence at the military units," Mrs. Alexanyan said.
The lawyer says the defense minister is unaware of the situation, and
that the main person responsible for this is the Commander-in-Chief
Serzh Sargsyan. "Serzh Sargsyan must tell the public what he's doing
to prevent murders in the army."
Lawyer Artur Sakunts says he knows why there are murders taking
place in the army. "Corruption in the army has reached the point
where soldiers are involved in business. The other reason is because
corruption is sponsored and the soldiers can't do anything about it.
The Commander-in-Chief isn't doing anything, meaning that he is
an accomplice."
