The tragic incident at Harsnakar Restaurant owned by oligarch Rouben
Hayrapetyan has once again demonstrated the Armenian authorities'
policy of enslaving or expelling the citizens from their own country,
Garegin Chugaszyan, analyst, member of the Vahe Avetyan public
initiative, said at today's press conference.
To recall, on June 17 the security guards of Harsnakar Restaurant
severely beat Vahe Avetyan, major of the Armenian Defense Ministry,
head of the HENT department of the Yerevan military hospital, as
well as doctor Artak Bayadyan and senior lieutenant of the Armenian
armed forces Garik Soghomonyan. Avetyan underwent brain surgery the
same day. On June 29 Avetyan died at 7 pm. The incident caused a wide
public response not only in Armenia, but also in Diaspora.
The activist thinks that the law-enforcement structures are not going
to complete the criminal case and they are trying to delay the process
and to exempt Rouben Hayrapetyan from any responsibility.
The lawyers of the aggrieved party were provided with the materials
of the criminal case only on August 2. "It is noteworthy that Vahagn
Haroutyunyan is conducting the investigation. He is famous for the fact
that he failed to disclose the case of 1 March 2008", Chugaszyan said.
The activist added that on August 7 the public initiative will light
candles near Harsnakar Restaurant. Afterwards the protest action
will continue in the Avan administrative district of Yerevan, where
Hayrapetyan lives. "We will not restrict out steps to this action. Our
fight will continue until we gain full victory over the oligarchy",
he said.
