NEWS | 05.11.13 | 10:22
The four soldiers who escaped from a Yerevan garrison hospital last
weekend will not face any criminal liability over their service
misconduct, said Mary Sargsyan, a senior officer at the Defense
Ministry’s Investigative Service, told Pastinfo news agency.
She added that materials were being prepared for an inquest.
Earlier, Defense Ministry spokesman Artsrun Harutyunyan also said
that it was possible that no proceedings would be launched considering
that the soldiers were patients of a psychiatric department and that
medical findings were needed.
A brawl occurred among four servicemen at the hospital on Saturday
evening in which the doctor on duty was also attacked. Subsequently,
the four escaped the facility, but all were traced and returned to
the hospital.
