ArmInfo. The Armenian Prosecutor General’s Office applied to the OSCE
Office in Yerevan to help receive a part of foreign experts’ conclusion
on the case of Levon Ghulyan’s death.

The press-service of the Armenian Prosecutor General’s Office reports
that in early November German independent experts’ conclusion on the
reasons of Levon Ghulyan’s death was received. This conclusion was
translated into Armenian, however, it became clear soon that the
conclusion was incomplete. In this connection, Deputy Prosecutor
General of Armenia Mnatsakan Martirosyan applied to the OSCE Office in
Yerevan to help receive a part of the conclusion.

To recall, 31-year old Levon Ghulyan, the director of the "Pandok"
restaurant, died on May 12, 2007, in the police station. Ghulyan was
invited to the police to give testimony on criminal authority Stepan
Vardanyan’s murder case. According to the official version, Ghulyan
asked for water over the talk and remaining alone in the room tried to
escape, jumped from the window of the second floor and died of injuries
on the spot. However, his relatives think that either Ghulyan was
preliminarily beaten and then thrown into the window, or he was forced
to run away because of tough treatment.
