YEREVAN, February 2. / ARKA /. Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan has
sacked today Lieutenant General Martin Karapetyan as head of Vazgen
Sargsyan Military Institute of the Defense Ministry, the presidential
press service reported.
The decision to fire the general was prompted by the death of a
military cadet on January 29, who reportedly was killed by 4 fellow
servicemen. The cadet, Haykaz Barseghyan, was found hanged in a
military unit in Yerevan. The four fellow servicemen were detained.
Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyan held an emergency meeting on Saturday
in connection with the death of the soldier. Ohanyan blamed the crime
on vicious morals resulting from poor work of some officers and their
failure to comply with their official duties.
Ohanyan was also quoted as saying that all the responsible will be
punished to the fullest extent of the law. -0-
