YEREVAN. - Opposition Armenian National Congress' (ANC) National
Assembly (NA) Faction issued a statement with an initiative to convene
a special NA session.
"Considering [the fact] that the crimes that were committed at
Harsnaqar Restaurant Complex have received a wide public resonance,
Noting that a response [to these developments] by the NA will
contribute to weakening the social tension,
Noting that an NA MP's involvement and accountability is touched upon
in connection with the incidents,
Taking into account that the incidents' inadequate and incomplete
criminal-legal assessment could negatively impact the Armenian Army's
moral and psychological condition, [and]
Taking into account the consultations held with representatives from
Prosperous Armenia, ARF [Dashnaktsutyun], and Heritage [parties'
NA] factions,
We [hereby] decide to convene on July 17 at 12pm, [and] together
with MPs from other factions, a special NA session with an agenda to
adopt an NA decision on forming an ad hoc NA commission to study the
circumstances [of the incident] at Harsnaqar," the ANC's statement
reads in particular.
As Armenian News-NEWS.am informed earlier, an incident had occurred at
Armenian capital city Yerevan's Harsnaqar Restaurant on June 17, where
several military doctors including Edgar Mikoyan, Arkadi Aghajanyan,
Garik Soghomonyan, Artak Bayadyan and Vahe Avetyan were brutally
beaten by the security personnel. And Vahe Avetyan died in hospital
on June 29. A criminal case is launched and the Police have detained
six people.
The Restaurant's owner is senior ruling party MP, Football Federation
of Armenia President, and businessman Ruben Hayrapetyan, who on July
3 formally submitted his resignation from his parliamentary seat.
