BRUISES ON SOLDIER'S BODY

Social

Instead of celebrating the 19th anniversary of their son the Metazoans were mourning over his premature death.

Hovik's dead body was brought home on July 7. According to official data, Hovik committed suicide. The boy's parents doubt this hypothesis.

“ I am convinced that my son didn't commit suicide. Obviously, he was murdered,” one of Hovik's relatives said.

Hovhannes Meltosyan, an Agriculture Academy student, was recruited to army eight months ago. He served in Vanadzor and two months ago was tranferred to Noyemberyan where, according to official data, he did away with himself.

The forensic examination concluded “disturbance of the brain functions, scratches and injuries on the neck, chest, toes and haemorrhage.” Hovik's parents, relatives and acquaintances state that there were bruises and injuries on the body.

“I was in the morgue with inspectors. Hovik's head was in blood. They protocolled the bruises on Hovik's hands, feet and body,” Hovhannes's uncle Tigran Harutyunyan told A1+.

According to the platoon commander the bruises might have been caused during the quarrel with the regiment commander.

One of the relatives told us that during his last visit Hovik begged them to transfer him to another regiment. “He said he was on bad terms with the officers.”

It is noteworthy that Hovik's lips were swollen and the relatives suppose he was throttled.

The Meltosyans are going to apply to the RA President, National Assembly, Prime Minister and other relevant bodies.
