YEREVAN. – ‘We Demand to Punish All the Accused on the Harsnakar Case’ initiative demands that Harsnakar restaurant owner, scandalous MP Ruben Hayrapetyan should be involved as a suspect and arrested, as well as all people who are linked to the June 17 criminal case should be involved in the criminal case, the initiative member Zaruhi Hovhannisyan told the journalists on Thursday.

“We demand:

-the case investigation to transfer from police into Special Investigation Service,

-to carry out impartial but open and accountable investigation,

-to dismiss Hayrapetyan from the office of the head of the Armenian Football Federation,

-to ensure security of the victims and their relatives, as well as exclude any possible repression on them,” the initiative stated.

Hovhannisyan said that the initiative was founded on June 17, as a result of the brutal beating at the Harsnakar restaurant on the same day, which belongs to the ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) former MP Ruben Hayrapetyan. Four military doctors were brutally beaten in the restaurant, while one of them, Vahe Avetyan died on June 29, without coming into consciousness.
