YEREVAN. – The case of Artur Ajamyan, the Yazidi conscript soldier who had sustained a fatal gunshot wound, has been transferred to the Special Cases’ Department of the Investigative Committee of Armenia for examination. The legal successor's representative, lawyer Hayarpi Sargsyan, told about this to Armenian News-NEWS.am today.

On December 2, 2019, soldier Artur Ajamyan (born in 1998) sustained a fatal gunshot wound, whereas fellow serviceman Davit Melikbekyan (born in 1999) was wounded at a military unit of the Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) Defense Army.
