The parents of military conscript Arman Muradyan, who served in NKR and
died in 2013 (official cause of death suicide), received a notice for
the verdict of their son's case one month after it was released and
consequently do not have the opportunity to appeal, said Muradyan's
family representative Tigran Muradyan in an interview with Epress.am.
According to him, the verdict was not only handed out without the
presence of the victim's legal successors, but was also not sent
to them.
After being informed of the court's verdict, the conscript's father
Hovsep Muradyan asked the court to send him the verdict, which the
court subsequently did.
"We received the verdict on the same day as the deadline to appeal the
verdict. Now we've appealed to the court to extend the deadline. If
the court does not accept the appeal, then it signifies that the
verdict was only for the defendant and the plaintiff has no right
whatsoever to appeal the verdict," said Tigran Muradyan.
Recall, that the parents of NKR military conscript Arman Muradyan
demanded that their son's case be transferred to Armenia from the
capital of the unrecognized Nagorno Karabakh Republic, Stepanakert.
This demand was rejected.
Hovsep Muradyan does not believe the preliminary investigation's stance
on his son's suicide, which the military expert Ruben Martirosyan also
rejects. Note, that according to the verdict, major Emil Avetisyan
was sentenced to 6 years imprisonment for violent actions against a
commander, abuse of powers, and insulting a serviceman.
