    PanARMENIAN.Net - In the framework of investigation into Armenian
    soldier Hayk Lazarian's death more than one version will be tried.

    According to preliminary investigation the soldier's death was
    caused by careless handling of weapon by his fellow serviceman
    Lendrush Nazlukhanyan, Armenian Defense Ministry press secretary
    David Karapetyan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.

    According to him, the investigation will take into consideration that
    Lazarian's death was not caused by one shot, but more. "Also there
    is a version that Lazarian was killed on purpose," Karapetyan said,
    adding that the version that Lazarian's death was the result of a
    conflict with his fellow serviceman is not excluded. Karapetyan added
    that investigation is under way and soon charges will be brought
    against the suspect.

    In the morning of September 7, Armenian serviceman Hayk Lazarian,
    born 1992, died from a gunshot wound while on military duty in the
    eastern part of the line of contact between Nagorno Karabakh Republic
    and Azerbaijani armed forces.

    A criminal investigation was instigated in accordance with article
    373.3 of Armenian Criminal Code (careless handling of weapon resulting
    in a death) stipulating for 3-7 years of imprisonment.
