Armenia’s Defense Ministry condemns any violence against Armenian
citizens, whoever they are, and is closely watching the inquiry
into the beating of military doctor Vahe Avetyan by oligarch Ruben
Hayrapetyan’s security guards.
“We would also like to express our support for those injured and
would like to assure them that we are not indifferent to instances
of debauchery in our society,” the Ministry says.
To remind, Hayrapetyan’s security guards severely beat military doctor,
Major Vahe Avetyan in Harsnakar restaurant on Sunday. Avetyan was taken
to hospital and underwent brain surgery. Doctors say he is in a very
bad condition. On Tuesday the Prosecutor General instructed that the
criminal case instituted by the Defense Ministry be transferred to
the Yerevan Police Department. Some media say that Hayrapetyan and
the chief of the department Nersik Nazaryan are on good terms and
assume that the latter may help to cover up the crime.
