Lieutenant-General Martin Karapetyan has filed a resignation note after
the murder of a cadet at the Armenian Military Institute named after
Vazgen Sarkisyan, press secretary of the Armenian Defense Ministry
Artsun Ovannisyan says on Facebook.

Defense Minister Seyran Oganyan had a special meeting for the murder
case and ordered a scrupulous investigation.

Armen Melkumyan, a third-course cadet, shot at Sipan Movsisyan of
the same course during a guard switch on June 1. Movsisyan died at
the Grigor Lusavorich Medical Center.

Preliminary investigations say that the murder was provoked by an
argument.
