SOME FORCES WANT CREATE ATMOSPHERE OF DEEP MISTRUST OF ARMENIA'S ARMY - PUBLIC FIGURE
Tert.am
21.10.11
None of the NGOs or public movements that are critical of the present
situation in the army has applied for membership in the Public Council
at Armenia's Ministry of Defense, the Council member Gegham Harutyunyan
told journalists in Yerevan, Oct. 21.
The public distrusts the investigation into the army incidents.
However, it must be "uprooted with respect to both personal emotions
and public attitude," he added.
Some forces are trying to create an atmosphere of deep mistrust,
Harutyunyan said. He noted that the army-society relations must be
viewed as a single whole.
"They seek to create the impression of permissiveness and a terrible
situation in the army. Each serious case is investigated a three
levels, and courts return just verdicts. We must not say to the
Investigation, "Either accept my version or you are not impartial',"
Harutyunyan said.
He cannot understand "mass media's aggressiveness," noting that he
cannot bring charges of unfair investigation. "I did not conduct
investigations," Harutyunyan added.
He pointed out a lower number of death cases in the Armenian army
as compared with 1990s. However, he does not have the information on
the number of solved cases.
As regards the protest the killed solders' relatives staged in front
of the Armenian government yesterday, and the resultant incident,
Harutyunyan said: "I saw something I cannot accept. Even in mourning
people must respect rules of conduct."
