Why did Chief of Yerevan Police go unpunished?

Oppositionist Grisha Virabyan claims that in April 2005 he was beaten up in the Artashat Department of the Armenian Police by Ashot Karapetyan, who was then deputy head of Ararat province's Police Department. Karapetyan is now Chief of Yerevan Police. After his unsuccessful attempts to find justice in Armenian courts, Virabyan appealed to the Eutropean Court of Human Rights which in 2012 handed down a verdict that Virabyan’s right for fair trial was violated and he was subjected to discrimination. The Court also ruled that Armenia is to study the case again and pay EUR31,000 to Virabyan, EUR 25000 of which as compensation for moral damages. Armenia was also given six months to appeal the decision. Now Grisha Virabyan has again gone to the Prosecutor General's Office to review the criminal case investigated by the Special Investigation Service. “I am surprised that authorities in Armenia prefer to pay large sums of money for a police officer instead of punishing him,” said Mr Vitabyan. The opposition activist adds that Chief of the Armenian Police Vladimir Gasparyan has some doubts in connection with ECtHR verdicts. Grisha Virabyan is determined to go till the end and make Ashot Karapetyan accountable for his behaviour. “The case has been reopened and I hope to witness administration of justice here, in Armenia, otherwise I shall again go to the European Court of Human Rights,” he said.
