"The decision of the Appeal Court is 100 percent fair," Hovsep
Mkrtumyan, father of Movses Mkrtumyan, said. Son Mkrtumyan was murdered
in Mataghis and the Appeal Court set free three young men who were
accused in his murder.

Father Mkrtumyan thinks the decision of the Appeal Court is a
"miracle." "It turned out that it is possible that justice wins a
victory in Armenia. I am very grateful to the judges of the Appeal
Court," Mkrtumyan said.

Speaking about the statements of Arthur Yeghiazaryan, uncle of Roman
Yeghiazaryan, another military servant murdered in Mataghis, Mkrtumyan
said, "They must bring proofs. On the grave of my innocent son I
pray that no other innocent person gets punished," he said. Arthur
Yeghiazaryan earlier told a press conference that both the judges of
the Appeal Court and the father of Movses Mkrtumyan are bribed. "If
they give me one billion, I will not sell the blood of my son,"
father Mkrtumyan says.

Movses Mkrtumyan is afraid that during the further investigation some
facts will be faked.
