Today the president of ‘Soldier’ Coordinating Council Margarita Khachatryan, in a conversation with Aravot.am expressed her distrust about the initiative of the Military Prosecutor’s Office. According to the statement of military prosecutor’s office, a working group was set up to examine criminal cases with death outcome in the Armed Forces. As Margarita Khachatryan observed, “I do not think that the public’s trust will increase from it. I do not particularly cherish the hope that something will be revealed. I should be an independent body to explore. I have my son’s experience, what sufferings I bear to reach everything. I live today with suffering because the case is not revealed. I’m experiencing a lot of pain when I see protesting mothers of victims’. I live in great sorrow. This initiative for them can not be a hope.” Ms. Khachatryan has no idea whether she will be involved in the
working group, or not. She said that she had not received an invitation yet, and it still needs to be discussed, which are non-governmental organizations that can participate in these activities. “We cooperate with the Ministry of Defense. Those who have 3 years of working experience in the army, will be invited. Today, after the board meeting, it will become clear who are invluded.” As Margarita Khachatryan said,- “I know them very well and I’m sorry that nothing will be changed from that work. None of our cases will be disclosed.” To our question that the working group should consider only those criminal cases, the final decision of which was made after 1 January, 2011, whether it is not suspicious, Margarita Khachatryan said,- “Of course, there is a suspicion. If the case of ‘98 is not disclosed, why did they take the criminal cases after 2011? According to the preliminary version, the military police, according to preliminary version, the investigation of the scene of the case, if initially are distorted, the criminal cases will proceed distorted to the end.”
