    WHO BELIEVES THE MILITARY PROSECUTOR?

    In the beginning of his tenure, the Military Prosecutor Gevorg
    Kostanyan enjoyed the confidence of the parents of soldiers who died in
    the army at peace time. Especially after he personally went to study
    the location where Tigran Ohanyan was allegedly killed by electric
    shock and told Tigran's mother the location had been falsified.

    For half a year, the press always referred to Kostanyan's phrase. The
    parents trusted Kostanyan's phrase that "the investigation is going
    on" and expected that the real perpetrators would be found and
    punished. They would have expected more if the Military Prosecutor
    had not worked out a false protocol in Ohanjanyan's military unit
    6 months later stating Tigran Ohanjanyan could have been killed by
    electric shock.

    The Military Prosecutor reneged on his words through the Golos
    Armeniy Neswpaper. "I have never said the scene was falsified, but
    I say that there are still issues the answers to which have not been
    found yet." Then he repeated his favorite phrase. "The investigation
    is going on."

    An unpleasant conversation took place between Ohanjanyan's angry
    father and Kostanyan which the Military Prosecutor prefers silencing,
    and at that moment, the dialogue between him and the parents of killed
    soldiers has been interrupted. The more youths are killed in the army,
    the more self-confident Gevorg Kostanyan becomes.

    "I can assure you, since the very moment I was appointed Military
    Prosecutor, no crime has remained unrevealed. We have 100% crime
    revelation, even grave crimes, including death cases," the military
    prosecutor told the Golos Armeniy on October 13.

    By saying 100% revelation, he may mean the diligence of the
    investigators. They visit the scene and reveal "suicides" so rapidly
    that further investigation becomes unnecessary, but just a slight
    technical moment and a ceremony to confirm that version. The society
    remains perplexed at what is happening in the Armenian army and
    they get surprised at when it managed to become so bad that so many
    servicemen commit suicide.

    "The rate of murders has dropped 4 times since last year," says the
    military prosecutor. No one knows what figures he is speaking about
    because the number of army deaths is a military secret.

    People have their own statistics. On the day when the Prosecutor's
    interview was published in the Golos Armeniy, Yurik Nersisyan, who
    had no father and home and saw nothing but hardship in his 19 years
    "committed a suicide". On the same day, the society was shocked by
    the news of the suicide of Aram Melkonyan, 21. Three days before the
    interview, 19-year-old Vladimir Asatryan "committed a suicide" in an
    NKR military unit, and his mother kept crying and shouting that his
    son was very adjustable, and he couldn't commit a suicide because he
    never complained, he helped his mother by collecting rubbish to earn
    their living.

    In Yeghnikner, a conscript from Artik was tortured, his body was
    burnt with cigarettes, and he was taken to hospital in coma. One
    month ago, Aghasi Abrahamyan serving in the same military unit died
    from inhumane tortures. The person who beat him to death is charged
    with mere violation of field manuals.

    Our investigators and military prosecutors avoid the expressions
    "tortures", "murder" and "cruel murder" and the interview of the
    military prosecutor makes the reason clear. Otherwise, he could never
    state that "the most common crimes are those based on the violation
    of field manuals between the conscripts and officers, as well as on
    daily basis".

    It is not clear to who the prosecutor's speech is addressed. Who does
    he intend to convey his message? Does he want to tell the President
    that "everything is OK, do not believe the growing number of women
    in black who will knock at your door and protest?" Is the Military
    Prosecutor's speech addressed to these people, to the parents of
    the guys tortured and killed during their military service or maybe
    the future conscripts who went on protest on October 13, demanding
    security guarantees from the Supreme Commander-in-Chief? Why is he
    still speaking when it is time for action?
