YEREVAN, JULY 6, NOYAN TAPAN. The conclusion concerning the absence
of posthumous injuries, as well as the origin of injuries inflicted
on the body of Levon Gulian, does not affirm the official version
of the police in any way. This statement was made at the July 4
press conference by Hrair Ghukasian, the representative of the legal
successor of Levon Gulian, who died in the building of the Criminal
Investigation of the Police under unknown circumstances.
It should be mentioned that, according to the version of the
police, Levon Gulian tried to escape by jumping from the window,
fell down and died as a result of the fall, that is to say, it was
an accident. However, Hrair Ghukasian did not exclude the possibility
of murder or suicide.
The lawyer mentioned that, according to the conclusion of the forensic
examination of the body of Levon Gulian, which was conducted by foreign
experts, the bruise and scratch under the left eye, as well as a number
of bruises and scratches on the hands and feet of the aggrieved could
be a result of the influence of another force, which preceded the fall:
for example, it could be punches or blows with other subjects.
According to the finger-print investigation, only three of the
finger-prints taken from inside and outside of the window (from
where, according to the police, Levon Gulian jumped) belonged to
L. Gulian. As for the other finger-prints discovered on that window,
they belong to a person, who has not been revealed by the investigation
as yet. The finger-prints of Levon Gulian were not found on the two
tubes either: according to the version of the police, Levon Gulian
tried to jump down by taking hold of a tube, but beating against this
tube he fell to the ground. According to the conclusion of the complex
fibre and forensic-chemical investigation, micro-particles of soot,
concrete, and plaster, as well as traces of yellow paint and rust
(one of the above-mentioned tubes was painted yellow, the other one
was not painted, it was rusty) were not found in the contents under
the finger nails of the hands and clothes of Levon Gulian.
The aggrieved party expects that the preliminary investigation body
will answer the question of whose activities or inactions gave rise
to the fact that Levon Gulian was limited in freedom and submitted to
violence, as well as under what circumstances he died. "It is a fact
that a number of illegal measures were taken against Levon Gulian from
May 10 to 12: limitation of freedom, violence, as well as many others,
and he was brought to the RA Police station without any legal bases
and died under very strange circumstances," the representative of
the legal successor of the aggrieved party said.
