It seems that some people were eager to see the Harsnakar incident
end in death rather than recovery so as to be able to make a fuss
about it, Armenia's Education and Science Minister Armen Ashotyan
told journalists on Tuesday, when asked to comment on the death of
military doctor Vahe Avetyan, beaten by an oligarch's security guard
in Harsnakar restaurant on June 17.
"I regret that we have failed to save his life. It is a real tragedy,
but we should not try to politicize this incident. I am sure that
those guilty will be punished," Ashotyan said.
To remind, June 17 the security guards of Harsnakar restaurant, owned
by oligarch MP Ruben Hayrapetyan, severely beat military doctors Vahe
Avetyan, Artak Bayadyan and senior lieutenant Garik Soghokonyan.
It is rumored that Avetyan and his friends visited the restaurant in
sportswear but were not let in because of dress code. They did not
protest, went home, changed their clothes and came back.
But later they had a dispute with one of the waiters. The security
guards called Hayrapetyan to ask him what to do with the young people
and he told them to "teach them a lesson." The friends were beaten,
with Avetyan receiving a very serious head injury. He was operated
on but did not recover and died June 29.
Two security guards, one manager and one waiter have been arrested.
The key suspect is security guard Gagik Markaryan.
