Investigation is underway, and when it ends and everyone knows what really happened, you will become convinced that this incident can’t be linked to former MP Arakel Movsisyan (Shmays) or his son. This is what lawyer of the Chamber of Advocates of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic Ashot Apresyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am, talking about the death of a fixed-term serviceman in Artsakh on January 30 and the possibility of the involvement of Arakel Movsisyan’s son.

“Based on the information that we have at this moment, there is no serious reason that could serve as a basis for the serviceman’s suicide, but there were gunshots fired at fellow servicemen…Dozens of versions can be presented during the investigation. Let’s wait until the investigation ends,” he stated.

Apresyan claimed that there hadn’t been any interpersonal issues between the deceased serviceman and his fellow serviceman and added that he has met with Movsisyan’s son, but didn’t report details.

Minister of Defense of Armenia Davit Tonoyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am that there are three servicemen arrested, including the son of former MP Arakel Movsisyan (Shmays).

Vahram was enlisted six months ago and was serving in Artsakh. He died on January 30 at around 1:15 p.m. The Investigative Committee of Armenia declared that the soldier had shot his chest with the AKM type of gun attached to him and had been transferred to a military hospital with firearm injuries, and he was pronounced dead at 2 p.m. The first garrison investigative division has instituted a criminal case in relation to the incident, and preliminary investigation is underway.
