There are three people arrested under the case of the soldier who died on January 30 in Artsakh, and one of them is the son of former MP Arakel Movsisyan (Shmays). This is what Minister of Defense of Armenia Davit Tonoyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am today.

The defense minister is currently negotiating with the relatives of the deceased serviceman who are marching through Armavir-Yerevan highway and want to bring the coffin of the deceased soldier to Yerevan since they don’t believe the official version of the soldier’s death (suicide).

Davit Tonoyan asked the relatives to stop and not continue the march to Yerevan.

The relatives told Armenian News-NEWS.am that the soldier, Vahram was murdered. 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.
