Parents of killed soldiers looking for judge (video)
What kind of punishment threatens to the policemen, who used violence against the killed soldiers’ parents, who were staging protest action outside Presidential Palace on May 13, 2015? The parents have been looking for the answer to the question today at the Court of Cassation. The meeting with the Head of the staff was ineffective. “He listened to us and said that he could not help. If he cannot help us, why he has come to meet us,” says Gohar Sargsyan, mother of the killed serviceman Tigran Ohanjanyan. The judgment in the case of violence used against them must have been published by Armen Khachatryan, Judge of Court of General Jurisdiction of Arabkir and Kanaker-Zeytun administrative districts on January 11. Only some minutes before the court hearing the parents learnt that the judge had been transferred to another court and the judgment wouldn’t be published on that day. The parents tried to learn from other officials of the Court of Cassation when and by whom the judgment must be published. The clash broke out between the parents and bailiffs. Head of the Judicial Department Tigran Poladyan comes down and agrees that the parents must have been informed about the cancellation of the court hearing in a written form. The parents asked when and who must read the judgment made by Judge Armen Khachatryan. According to Polandyan, new trial must be launched. Still on July 7, 2015 mothers of the killed servicemen applied to Serzh Sargsyan with a request so that with his mediation the cases of death of their sons were reviewed. The parents learnt from the department of letters and reception of citizens of the RA President’s staff that their application had been sent to the National Assembly. But the parents didn’t get an answer about the fate of their application at the legislative body.
