YEREVAN. – One year has passed since the day when a group Armenian military physicians was brutally beaten, and as a result, one of them, Vahe Avetyan, died in hospital several days thereafter.  

Even though the respective trial is still in progress, Avetyan is no longer alive and his two children are left without a father.  

As Armenian News-NEWS.am informed earlier, an incident had occurred at capital city Yerevan’s Harsnaqar Restaurant Complex on June 17, 2012, where several military doctors including Edgar Mikoyan, Arkadi Aghajanyan, Garik Soghomonyan, Artak Bayadyan and Vahe Avetyan were brutally beaten by Restaurant security personnel, and Avetyan had died in hospital on June 29.

Subsequently, a criminal lawsuit was filed into this incident, and six people were arrested.

The Restaurant’s owner is ruling Republican Party former MP, Football Federation of Armenia President, and businessman Ruben Hayrapetyan, who formally gave up his parliamentary seat in connection with this incident.
