Haykakan Zhamanak: Armenian soldier killed by fellow serviceman?
10:47 - 03.03.12
Armenian conscript Armen Adibekyan, reported dead near Chinari village
(Tavush region) on February 23, was killed by a fellow serviceman's
bullet, not an Azerbaijani sniper, the paper has learned.
An expert of the Helsinki Association, Ruben Martirosyan, has told
Haykakan Zhamanak that the truth became known to him after a
conversation with Yura Martirosyan, the chief of the Defense
Ministry's Central Administration.
`It was clear from the very first moment that the soldier was killed
by a fellow serviceman. A sniper from the enemy's troops could not
have technically hit such a blow,' Martirosyan was quoted as saying.
Speaking to the paper, an officer of the Ministry's Investigative
Service, Mary Sarsgsyan neither confirmed nor denied the statement,
saying only that the Service did not yet have anything new to report.
Sargsyan was further quoted as saying that a criminal case was
instituted immediately after the incident, the official reports
suggesting that the perpetrator was the enemy's sniper.
