10.04.2013 22:07 epress.am
The RA Court of Cassation refused to begin proceedings based on
complaints launched by Lieutenant Artak Nazaryan's legal successor
(and sister) Tsovinar Nazaryan and attorney Mushegh Shushanyan,
as well as the attorneys of one of the convicted, Hakob Manukyan,
Tsovinar Nazaryan told Epress.am.
The Court of Cassation, the highest judicial instance in the country,
explained its refusal by saying that after it examining the facts
presented in the case, it did not arrive at the conclusion that the
Court of Appeals made an apparent judicial error that could lead or
not lead to serious consequences.
Tsovinar Nazaryan is now preparing to appeal to the European Court
of Human Rights.
Recall, on Aug. 1, the RA Criminal Court of Appeal presided by judges
Grisha Meliq-Sargsyan, Karine Ghazaryan, and Henrik Ter-Adamyan,
upheld the lower court's ruling in the case of Lt. Artak Nazaryan,
who died while serving in a military unit in Tavush marz in 2010.
The Tavush District Court of First Instance found the following
guilty of leading Lt. Nazaryan to suicide: Hakob Manukyan (sentenced
to 10 years in prison); Vahagn Hayrapetyan, Mkhitar Mkhitaryan,
and Adibek Hovhannisyan (all sentenced to 4 years in prison); and
Harutik Kirakosyan (3 years in prison).
The injured party insists that Artak Nazaryan did not commit
suicide, that he was murdered, and theinvestigation has been full of
violations. Previously, experts presented several facts proving the
many irregularities in the case.
