Yesterday, the police announced about the end of the investigation of
Vahe Avetyan~Rs murder case, who was violently beaten up in Harsnakar
restaurant. The investigation lasted about two months. Such velocity
of the investigation is unprecedented.
Vahe Avetyan was beaten up by Ruben Hairapetyan~Rs bodyguards on June
17. Later on June 29, 12 days after the incident, he died without
gaining consciousness.
~SWe have proves that there were other participants in the fight
besides the 6 accused~T, said Arsen Ayvazyan, Important Cases of
General Investigation Department of RA police, told RFE/RL Yerevan
service. ~SWe have done many actions to identify those people,
but we have no results yet. The investigation in this relation is
still underway~T.
Short after the incident, military doctor Artak Bayadyan, who had also
been beaten up, told Radio Liberty that 10-15 people had beaten them.
While, later, the police detained and accused only 6 people who are
charged with infliction of willful bodily damage which is dangerous
for life by a group of persons, by an organized group if caused the
death of the aggrieved by negligence.
Arsen Ayvazyan informed that the criminal case on the six detainees
has been separated from the main case since there are the necessary
proves for the accusation against them. This means the investigation
has nothing to add to what it has relating to these 6 people. The
police representative also noted that according to the procedure,
the materials would be provided to the parties.
Yesterday evening, at about 22.00, one of the members of the
investigative group handed the materials to the lawyers of Vahe
Avetyan~Rs successor for them to get acquainted with the materials in
one day, which is impossible and illogical. The case is composed of
1000 pages. Just to read these pages, the lawyers would need 9 hours,
but they also need to study and prepare mediations. This is another
example of the police cynicism not only towards Vahe Avetyan~Rs family
but also the society.
Arsen Ayvazyan, staying loyal to the police work style, put a soft
pillow below beneath the heads of the lawyers saying they agreed
with the prosecutor~Rs office on the reasonable terms for getting
acquainted with the case.
The police have no time and are engaged in covering up the case
and saving Ruben Hairapetyan. The police are hurrying to prevent
the legal work of the lawyers to make the illegalities committed in
the investigation public. The silence of the police and the empty
statements on the legality that lacks, means there is scenario to
cover up the case.
The lawyers are going to mediate to the investigation to obtain one
month for getting acquainted with the case materials.
