Dead soldier’s sister distrusts court
The court of general jurisdiction of Tavush province today postponed the examination of Artak Nazaryan's case since Harutik Kirakosyan didn't show up to court. Artak Nazaryan was an officer who was killed in peace in the Armenian army.
Artak Nazaryan's sister, Tsovinar Nazaryan told "A1+" that she didn't expect a fair trial and believed that there would be mishaps.
"The two major eyewitnesses are out of the country. They had sent a telegram to the court and their testimonies were accepted as grounds during the preliminary inquiry. In other words, our side is deprived of the chance to interrogate the two major eyewitnesses," Tsovinar Nazaryan told "A1+".
There are five culprits, of which four are arrested. Harutik Kirakosian is still serving at one fo the military units in Noyemberyan.
The lawyers of the injured party's successor Mushegh Shushanyan and Seda Safaryan also didn't show up to court since they had also appealed to postpone the trial.
However, the judge held a trial, ended it and scheduled the next one for October 3.
Contractual soldier Artak Nazaryan, 29, was shot at Mehrabner military unity in Tavush province on July 27, 2010.
