MEN ACCUSED OF MATAGHIS CASE FINALLY ACQUITTED
The price was 9 years in prison On May 29 Court of Cassation dismissed
the appeal of the Military Prosecutor's Office against the decision
of the Appeals Court which had earlier acquitted Razmik Sargsyan,
Musa Seroyan and Arayik Chalyan. They were accused of the famous
case of Mataghis involving death of people. The Court considered the
arguments of the prosecutor's office unreasonable and insufficient.
Note that on March 26 the Court of Appeals acquitted the three convicts
who had served in jail 9 years.
Those who killed two servicemen have not been identified yet, as well
as those who helped them to avoid responsibility and contributed to
unlawful charges against the three men.
Lawyer Haik Alumyan said the Mataghis case is not finished. He will
be Movses Mkrtumyan's advocate, the father of one of those victims
Hovsep Mkrtumyan. I hope that a new investigation will reveal the
real murderers, said Haik Alumyan.
The website of Journalists for Human Rights NGO writes that it was
possible to win the trial which lasted more than 10 years thanks to
the consistency of the civil society, which rejected the accusation
of innocent people.
