People must be informed about all death cases in the army: Ruben Melikyan

After years it has been succeeded to form a reality that after the painful death case in the army the public was being informed about it few hours after the incident, advocate Ruben Melikyan told Aysor.am, referring to the death case of serviceman Edgar Grigoryan on the New Year kept secret till now. He stressed that the authorities have no right to register a regress in this regard.

“I want to criticize this behavior and express hope that it will be the last case with such thing never to happen again. The people must be informed about all death cases in the army,” he said, adding that such working style may sow doubts among people who may truly ask how should we know that such cases were not registered on January 5 or 10? “This is a trust gained through a painful way and no authority has a right to lose it,” Melikyan said.

The advocate said for a minute he can understand that the Defense Ministry did not report about it not to shadow the festive New Year mood of the people, but not informing about it after the holidays does not suit in any logic.

He also said the public must keep this case in the limelight taking into consideration the fact that criminal case has been filed over making a person commit suicide.
