At a press conference on the Mataghis case on Friday, Zaruhi
Postanjyan, a Heritage parliamentary group member, stated that
Armenia's former military prosecutor Gagik Jhangiryan, who is now a
member of the Armenian National Congress (ANC) parliamentary group, is
the main culprit in the 9-year-old case.
`However, if Gagik Jhangiryan is punished, others will have to appear
among the accused because he was not alone. All the persons involved
in the case are holding posts now,' Mrs Postanjyan said.
She is sure that neither Gagik Jhangiryan nor the others will ever
`get rid of' this case.
Armenia's law-enforcement agencies must sober up and admit their
guilt. They must punish the army commanders that are responsible for
incidents. `It is impunity enjoyed by military commanders that results
in such incidents,' Mrs Postanjyan said.
Razmik Sargsyan, Musa Serobyan and Araik Zalyan, who had been
sentenced to life imprisonment in the Mataghis case (death of the
soldiers Roman Yeghiazaryan and Hovsep Mkrtumyan in the Mataghis
military unit), were found innocent and released from custody in court
on December 18, 2012.
The investigative journalist Zhanna Alexanyan said that commanders
enjoy impunity in Armenia.
`If the commanders of the military unit are punished it will be a
great achievement for the army,' Ms Alexanyan said.
The Mataghis case is among the cases that evoked public response, she added.
