The incident in Harsnakar restaurant has proved once again that the
judiciary in Armenia is in a deplorable state, Larisa Alaverdyan,
member of the Vahe Avetyan public movement, former human rights
defender of Armenia, told journalists on Monday.
She believes that privy to the murder of Vahe Avetyan (a military
doctor who was beaten in Harsnakar restaurant June 17 and died in
hospital 12 days later) are the same people who killed peaceful
demonstrators on Mar 1 2008.
"This is one more unpunished crime committed by our oligarchs and
their accomplices. And now they are doing their best to cover up
their tracks," Alaverdyan said.
Lawyer of Avetyan's family Tigran Yegoryan said that all of their
petitions have been declined. "We have asked the investigation
authorities to organize a repeated forensic medical examination
by chief neurosurgeons from all over Armenia so as to prove that
Avetyan's injuries were fatal, but our petition has been declined,"
the lawyer said.
He added that five of the six suspects are security guards of Ruben
Hayrapetyan, the owner of Harsnakar. "We believe that this is an
enough ground for bringing Hayrapetyan to court," Yegoryan said.
Alaverdyan and Yegoryan urged the population to create a public
tribunal and to express their opinion on the Harsnakar case.
