The Government and Prosecutor General's Office of Armenia answer
questions of the oppositional factions about the inquiry into the
incident at Harsnakar Restaurant.
A working group comprising representatives of the Armenian National
Congress, ARFD and Heritage parties' factions sent a list of questions
about the incident at Harsnakar to the Prosecutor General's Office.
Talking to ArmInfo, Head of Heritage Party faction Ruben Hakobyan said
that they had no serious expectations from the above structures given
the general state of the justice in the country, on the one hand, and
not completed inquiry into the incident, on the other hand.
"We demanded official information from the Government and the
Prosecutor General's Office on the measures taken for comprehensive
and impartial inquiry. We wanted to reveal the stance of the
authorities on the given issue. The parliament will launch sessions
shortly and the political life will activate. So, we may organize
hearings on the given issue. The government's answer is the official
stance that will help us decide our further steps," Hakobyan said.
The parliamentarian is sure that the incident at Harsnakar will not be
neglected as all the other similar tragedies with participation of
oligarchs and their guards, who managed to avoid punishment. "Tragedy
at Harsnakar is in the focus of attention of the active part of the
population and civil society, who have taken rather an unyielding
stance," he said.
To recall, on June 17, the security guards of Armenian oligarch, Head
of the Football Federation of Armenia Rouben Hayrapetyan severely beat
Major Vahe Avetyan, 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 in Harsnakar
restaurant owned by Hayrapetyan. Avetyan was taken to hospital and
underwent brain surgery. He died on June 29 around 7 pm. A relevant
criminal case has been instituted. Under public pressure, Hayrapetyan
refused his deputy mandate. A number of public organizations and youth
initiatives have united into "Vahe Avetyan" movement and regularly
picket Harskaqar and Police buildings demanding punishment of all
guilty in that vendetta.
