The chief of Armenia’s Military Police has assigned an investigation in order to find out the truth concerning information stated in an announcement spread by Armenian youth initiative ‘We shall not keep silence’, the spokesperson of the Minister of Justice Davit Karapetyan told the reporter of Armenian News-NEWS.am commenting on the statement in which it is stated that soldier Arsen Grigoryan was cruelly beaten in the Military Police, taken to the unit in that condition and sent to Sevan.

According to him, the information which had appeared in the media stating that the condition of Arsen Grigoryan has gotten bad unexpectedly and he has been removed to the military hospital is not true.

As Armenian News-NEWS.am had informed earlier, ‘We shall not keep Silence’ youth initiative spread a message stating that a scandalous incident has occurred in the Armenian Military Police on Thursday.

The statement reads:

“One month ago (pay attention to this fact) because of a fight several soldiers were detained and taken to the Military Police, were they were beaten up.

A soldier called Arsen got the worst injuries and in order ‘to silence’ him he was taken back to the military unit and was sent back to his hometown Sevan. He was ordered not to tell anyone about the incident.

The most disgusting part of this incident is that the commander of the military unit agreed to take the injured soldier and send him back in order not the exacerbate relations with the military police.

Asren was connected with the fight one month ago just as a victim.”
