Head of the Military Institute after Vazgen Sargsyan sacked
Serzh Sargsyan has signed a decree to relieve Lieutenant-General Martin Karapetyan from his duties as Head of the Military Institute after Vazgen Sargsyan. Martin Karapetyan filed his resignation earlier on Monday which was accepted by Minister of Defense Seyran Ohanyan. The resignation came after a tragic incident that occurred at the Institute last week. On January 29, soldier Haykaz Barsegyan was found hung in the gym of the Institute. On Monday, February 2, four Armenian soldiers were charged with the murder of Haykaz Barseghyan. Martin Karapetyan has been instructed to dismiss the whole leadership of the Military Institute.
