YEREVAN. - Ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) influential MP,
head of the Armenian Football Federation, big businessman and owner
of Harsnakar restaurant Ruben Hayrapetyan withdrew the MP mandate
and released a statement on this occasion.
"I would have given everything to prevent the young doctors from
being beaten in that evening and to stop the tragedy, which claims
life, ruined a family and left children orphans. I would have given
everything to make time rotate otherwise, but I am not able to, I will
not bring Vahe back. I have to live with this and to face his family.
I have no idea how I should I do this. I do ensure that everything
should be done within the law and the accused should be punished no
matter how many.
But what matters is not merely the law. It is more complicated. I do
realize it. Many people condemn me for things which have no connection
with me, but probably they have that right. I am the first one to
blame for. I must have prevented the tragedy and was not able to. I
should not have allowed such incident to occur in a place having
connection to me and my family. I do not forgive myself and do not
know how I should ask forgiveness.
I feel moral responsibility and withdraw my MP mandate. I hope one
day I will be forgiven by the family of Vahe, and will do everything
to deserve it. I condole with all his relatives," the statement reads.
Earlier today the owner of Harsnakar restaurant MP Ruben Hayrapetyan
visited Presidential Residence, Armenian News-NEWS.am sources claim
he met with the President Serzh Sargsyan.
To note, military doctor Vahe Avetyan died on June 29 due to being
brutally beaten at the aforesaid restaurant on June 17. The agency
has informed that several military doctors, including Avetyan were
brutally beaten at 11.00 p.m. in the restaurant on June 17. A criminal
case was instigated, six people, including Hayrapetyan's body-guards,
were detained.
A candle-lighting ceremony took place on June 30 in the memory of
Avetyan, and protest actions have been being held in Yerevan and some
of the Diaspora communities during the following days.
Protest participants demand to strictly punish the accused and withdraw
Hayrapetyan's mandate.
