    MOTHER OF KILLED SOLDIER RECEIVED NOTICE TO APPEAR IN COURT TOO LATE

    The case of Torgom Sarukhanyan, 22, the soldier who died of gunshot
    wounds in one of the military units in Khojaly, Nagorno-Karabakh,
    on Feb. 12, 2011, has been sent to court. This news was conveyed to
    Epress.am by the Yerevan-based Helsinki Association for Human Rights,
    one of its members (Arman Veziryan) of which represents the victim's
    successor in the case.

    The first court session in this case was set for yesterday, Jan. 18,
    at 6 pm at the Syunik Region Court of General Jurisdiction (at its
    seat in Stepanakert, Nagorno-Karabakh); however, neither the victim's
    legal successor nor her representatives were able to get to court
    since Torgom's mother, Lena Sarukhanyan, received the court notice on
    Jan. 18, and naturally, could not travel to Stepanakert from Gyumri
    on such short notice.

    Recall, Torgom's mother, in conversation with Epress.am several
    months ago, said she believes that her son was ordered to carry out
    certain tasks which are not part of a soldier's duties, which were
    to have been kept secret, and so that they remain a secret, her son
    was killed after the work was done.

    Torgom was drafted into the army from Gyumri and was to have completed
    his mandatory service last summer. According to the official cause
    of death, Torgom was provoked into committing suicide.
