YEREVAN. - The public activists sent a letter to Armenia's Attorney
General Aghvan Hovsepyan and requested that Ruling Republican Party
influential MP Ruben Hayrapetyan be involved as a suspect on case of
Harsnakar restaurant, owned by Hayrapetyan, where military doctor was
beaten to death by restaurant security staff.
`We are writing you on notorious Harsnakar criminal case. As a result
of brutal fight in Harsnakar, high-ranking military doctor Vahe
Avetyan died in hospital on June 29.
Though a criminal case has been filed, people do believe that the
order of lynching [the doctor] has been given by Ruling Republican
Party former MP Ruben Hayrapetyan. Two weeks have passed but the
option of involving Ruben Hayrapetyan as a suspect has not been
considered. Moreover, the victims insist that up to 15 were involved
in the fight, while only six have been detained
Considering that the constitutional function of the Prosecution of the
Republic of Armenia is to protect public interests, we request that
you involve Ruben Hayrapetyan as a suspect in the criminal case of
Harsnakar and later arrest him. In his previous press conferences he
called for violence for many times and announced that he punished
people by beating them. This provides enough ground for us to think
that he is absolutely capable to give such an order. Beside this, he
found himself guilty when withdrew the MP mandate on Tuesday.
We request that you transfer the criminal case from the jurisdiction
of the Police to the jurisdiction of Special Investigation Service, as
from the very beginning some senior Police officials, without having
the conclusion of police investigation, have announced that Ruben
Hayrapetyan was innocent. According to rumors, he is the relative of
Yerevan Police Chief Nersik Nazaryan.
We request that you take certain steps and make a decision on not
allowing the former MP to escape from Armenia. But if he does, the
whole responsibility will lay on you.
This criminal case will come to show whether the Prosecution acts in
compliance with its constitutional functions and protects the rights
and interests of society in general or it solely protects the criminal
and oligarchic interests of a very small privileged class of society.
Otherwise, we will have to ensure the rule of law and jurisdiction
ourselves based on our rights and constitutional functions,' the
letter reads.
