The mother of Vardan Sevyan, who died on Aug. 19 while serving in
Armenia's Armed Forces during a period of non combat, determined to
uncover the truth in the circumstances surrounding her son's death,
will visit the site of the incident today.
Helsinki Association for Human Rights representative Arman Veziryan,
who visited Vardan's mother, Susanna Sevyan, conveyed this news to
Epress.am today.
According to Veziryan, Sevyan's family still has not been named as
the deceased successor and apart from the death certificate, they
have been given no other documents. What's remarkable is that after
Vardan died, though the incident took place in Goris, it was a Sevan
garrison investigator who visited their home.
Furthermore, Epress.am was informed today that Vardan's mother will
be asking for the findings from the investigation.
As reported earlier, military officials claimed that 20-year-old
Vardan Sevyan committed suicide after learning that his girlfriend had
married another man, but Sevyan's mother and sister strongly reject
that explanation, saying that Vardan did not have a girlfriend. They
also say that he had complained of ill-treatment at the hands of an
army officer.
The video below with an interview with Vardan Sevyan's mother was
provided by the Helsinki Association.
