Road Police and officers of the Defense Ministry of Armenia are trying
to obstruct entry of a cortege carrying body of the killed soldier
Luks Stepanyan to Yerevan. The soldier was killed by his comrade in
army in Noyemberyan on May 15.
The cortege stopped on Sevan-Yerevan highway and the relatives of the
killed soldier are squabbling with the police. As a result, the
relatives and the villagers of the killed soldier damaged the police
vehicle.
Artsrun Hovhannissyan, Spokesperson of Defense Minister Seyran
Ohanyan, writes on his Facebook page that the minister will soon
arrive at the spot.
Earlier, father of the killed, resident of Verin Getashen,
Gegharkunik Region, Ishkhan Stepanyan said that he intends to deliver
the body of his son to the government building in Yerevan and demand
explanations from the defense minister. He told media that they are
unaware of the real reasons of their son's death, as the Defense
Ministry representatives have provided them with no reasonable
explanations of the incident. The relatives and the family of the
killed soldier slam the ministry for 'irresponsibility and ignorance.'
To recall, on May 15 at 3:30pm, soldier David Khachatryan fired at
Luks Stepanyan from his automated gun. Stepanyan died of the wound in
the head. Another soldier Hrachya Sargsyan was hospitalized with
gunshot wound in the head. He is currently at the reanimation
department of the Central Clinical Hospital of the Defense Ministry.
