A group of intellectuals, human rights activists, representatives
of parliamentary forces and members of the initiative calling for
punishment for those guilty in the Harsnakar incident gathered outside
the parliament building in Yerevan, demanding that lawmakers convene
an extraordinary sitting on the Harsnakar case.
"Vahe Avetyan's death is merely a branch of a tree whose roots go
deeper into the earth. The roots were set in 2001 with the murder of
Poghos Poghosyan," said Zaruhi Postanjyan, an MP from the Heritage
party.
She welcomed the initiative of four extra-coalition parties that
are trying to collect 44 signatures to convene a special sitting
on the case. At the same time she advised the MPs of the Prosperous
Armenia Party (BHK), who are currently on vacation outside Armenia,
to express their support for the move in a letter.
Human rights activist Artur Sakunts says the ruling Republican Party
of Armenia (HHK) is to satisfy the demand of the initiative group
and convene a special sitting, otherwise ~Qthe HHK will prove that it
sponsors [Harsnakar owner] Ruben Hayrapetyan and all crimes committed
by the bodyguards of oligarchs.'
The human rights activist says that [BHK Leader] Gagik Tsarukyan could
gather his party MPs within 30 minutes and make them sign the move.
"They fear lest two oligarchs may come into conflict," he said.
Three military doctors, who visited the Harsnakar restaurant on June
17, were brutally beaten during a brawl with the security guard. One
of them, Vahe Avetyan, died of severe head wounds on June 29 without
regaining consciousness. The incident sparked public outrage, with
civic activists, opposition members, media representatives and ordinary
citizens demanding to prosecute Hayrapetyan. Hundreds of people have
demonstrated outside Harsnakar and government buildings in Yerevan in
recent weeks to demand a thorough and objective probe. As a result
of mounting public uproar, Hayrapetyan resigned from the National
Assembly on July 3 but his authorities will be suspended after the
parliament returns from holiday.
